Also the Blackhawks coached got booed when introduced to the crowd, anyone know what's up with that?
His nickname is "Q", are you sure they weren't saying that?
Madhouse on MaddisonI went to the Blackhawks game, my first NHL Game and it definitely lived up to the hype even though more people seemed interested in the Cubs and left with 5 minutes to go haha.

checking out the heritage classic from earlier today... i dig the outdoor feel. how many outdoor games normally happen each season? just a couple?
Anywhere from 1-6
This year we have 4, but unlike previous years where a couple go under the common 'Stadium Series' title, each match has a unique name.
Heritage Classic - Winnipeg v Edmonton (it was interesting Winnipeg used the Mk. 1 Jets uniforms for the game, which technically belong to Arizona). An all-Canadian outdoor game (mostly, the 2014 Heritage Classic was technically still played indoors at BC Place). Was the first outdoor game in the NHL (2003), and only 4 of them have been played (2003, 2011, 2014, 2016).
Centenary Classic - Toronto v Detroit. Basically set up because NBC doesn't want Canadian teams in the Winter Classic, disguised as celebrating Toronto's centenary.
Winter Classic - St Louis v Chicago. The flagship outdoor game, but looks like NBC are going to dictate that Canadian teams don't play in it because they don't rate well (I think the saturation of outdoor games in recent years mixed with the disaster that was the 2015 Winter Classic between Washington and Chicago is impacting the ratings more than Canadian teams in the game)
Stadium Series - Pittsburgh v Philadelphia. Basically teams that want an outdoor game but miss out on getting the Winter Classic. The NHL went nuts with these in 2014, playing 4 of them (including 3 in a week), which pretty much killed the novelty of outdoor games.

It would be less of a problem if they were better shared around and didn't keep going to teams like the Blackhawks, Rangers, Caps and admittedly the Pens.
Given there are 82 games in a season I think people are still getting excited to see one outdoors.
This is getting really painful quicker than usual...
You should have seen the 80's! (Assuming you missed those glory years)
Whoever is in charge of preparing the ice in Brooklyn should be relieved of their duties.
Horrid.
