How did I miss this? Just checked tickets and no way I am paying $150 per to see this game though. Maybe I will go to a bar and watch. This is perfect for an old man like me it starts at 5pm.

Gonna be awesome seeing my boy Ray back on the ice.

Actually wasn't that excited about this until I saw those rosters. Man...Ozo, Blake, Bourque, and Foote all together. That'll be something.

Also excited that my fave Red Wing (Kris Draper) will be in attendance as well.

Hopefully I can get home in time to watch this. Been a fuckin' drag at work this week like you wouldn't believe.

Alumni games are the sort of things where I'm cynical at first, but once I see the guys out there, having fun and showing glimpses of their old skills, I'm like a kid again.

Those rosters look amazing. You know Roy will be competitive and Foppa will still be able to dish.

Is this even televised? This is way better than the actual game tomorrow.

NHL Stadium Series Alumni Game at Coors Field:
Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche Alums - Friday, February 27, 2016 at 5PM MST

Viewers inside Avalanche territory: Watch Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche alumni game on ALT 2. Use our channel finder to locate ALT 2 in your area.

Lame....I don't have cable....oh well guess I don't see this one even on NHL.tv. Its Boston at Car for me.

That's fucking ridiculous. NHL once again shoots themselves in the foot.

Still, at this point everyone is so tangled up that there's not much threat of anything really breaking out. The linesmen are breaking things up, tempers seem to be cooling, and we're ready to get back to hockey as soon as... wait, did anyone just hear the Undertaker's gong music start?


:lol:

Also, I had forgotten that it's none other than Sylvain Lefebvre (fun fact, when the Avs first came to town I picked him as my favorite since I like to pick players to root for that people either don't like or don't care about, hence the Brisebois jersey that still hangs in my closet) who was responsible for giving Sean McIndoe his famous moniker.
