Both teams will get their first chance to get on the ice and adjusted to the unique sightlines during pregame warmups.
Here’s the NHL’s official announcement: ANNAPOLIS, Md. (March 3, 2018) – The National Hockey League announced today that the start time of tonight’s 2018 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series between the Washington Capitals and Toronto Maple Leafs at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium will remain at 8 p.m. ET.

If the game is played today. Heard something about wind issues. I dont care for these outdoor games.
-
Holtby is expected to be a goalie tonight,looks like it’s gonna be a fun game!

Yeah the wind is nuts today . . . But, there is some great dubious humor when Bettmans gimmick of outdoor hockey gets affected by weather 🤣
Heh maybe they should only play the games in stadiums with retractable roofs? [size=78%]😆😆[/size]
-
Holtby is expected to be a goalie tonight,looks like it’s gonna be a fun game!
Yeah, there’s no question he should start, it sucks for him that he’s in a slump, under scrutiny, on a big stage, on a faux rink with who knows what ice conditions and 20+ mph winds
-
Are they losing yet?
-
Yeah, well there’s no question he should start, it sucks for him that he’s in a slump, under scrutiny, on a big stage, on a faux rink with who knows what ice conditions and 20+ mph winds
Hope,he can finally catch his luck tonight by showing best performance and help our team win a match!

I won't be giving this the main watching time but I'll throw it off with the audio off on my tablet. UFC is on tonight and that generally always takes precedence to hockey, especially regular season hockey. Even if the outdoor thing always is enjoyable, again I'll have it on tablet. Maybe I'll end up seeing a few good plays as I glance.
Ovechkin for 600 tonight though would be a real treat just due to the atmosphere. He should try to make it happen.

Did I mention, (recently), how shitty it is this game isn't in Camden Yards??
They did Wrigley, Fenway, and Dodger, then the Yankee and Bush 2.0 series. Then the Big House, Soldier, and Gillete . . .
But of the the top iconic outdoor stadiums that is the template for almost every new baseball stadium, and ignited the "new stadium" fad. . . Gets snubbed for a stadium of a team that no pays attention two more than once a year.
Now not to take away from the military, I'm fact I think the idea of us and Chicago routinely playing each other at an Army or Navy facility would be one the best ideas that could come out this, . . .
But snubbing The Yards, the historic bar with live baseball, the icon of stadiums. . .? I mean I know it'd be tough on the grass when the season is a few weeks away, and I know you be gotta tough to live here, and the town is 100x better if you already know someone here, and if you don't make friends in Baltimore. IT'S YOU'RE OWN DAMN FAULT!!!

Those games were all the "outdoor classic" on New Year's Day. The "stadium series" is something different. Are you not surprised that Bettman continues to screw this franchise? Especially since this market still hasn't hosted an all star game.
-
Haha DC is on rant mode tonight. How much drinking has been going on? :P
I'm sure we'll get another chance at an outdoor at the facility your mentioning, the NHL is going to milk the Ovechkin era for as much as they can just as much as the Caps seem to be. That said I personally think every single team should play a home and away outdoor game each year, because why not the NHL invests so much money in these things and people like them. Then nobody gets the shaft.
It's like overseas games too, I wish we had a few more of those established per season.

Not in the least, which is what really pisses me off. . . I mean there are hundreds of reasons to not have it here, but nothing that makes it impossible, so at least “we’d of like to have it at The Yards but we couldn’t work it out”, would of been more than enough!
-
Well guys, I’m gonna miss most of this GDT, as im leavin the club blasting one of my fight songs to see a fellow, and Motor City Bad Ass royalty burn the Bmore Arena down . . , :devil: because I am a Long Haired Redneck Rock N Roll:

I love Camden yards. Easily my favourite baseball stadium. What does it is the warehouse beyond the right field wall. Makes it look old school. I like the name too. The Yards. It sounds like old school ball.
-
I didn't hear of any plane crashed coming back from South Korea so I'm guessing Penishead and Dingleburry are gonna be on tonight. Hopefully I can get a radio feed that syncs with the video

-
no defense
-
Ovy..... 598

-
Unstoppable 598!
-
yAY Ovi!!!!
-
I don't know how you blame that on Holts, the Leaf forward was left wide open til the last possible second
-
no defense
It was Kempnys man that scored again. He is looking very weak in the defensive zone.
-

The shot was from a distance. It did not get tipped.
-

Thats not on Holtby. Not only was he open but I think it went off a skate.
-

It went off a skate
-
It went off a skate
Didn't see it get redirected. I wish he'd make some of those great saves occasionally
-
no defense
Yeah, that was his fault.
Not
-
Willy bringing the Hammer. BOOM!
-
Awww shite. Kill it!
-
Dumb penalty Carlson
-
Caps need to own the front of their own net. Disgraceful.
-
BACKSTROM
-
I want a pizza. Damn you Dominos commercial from earlier.
-
Caps need to own the front of their own net. Disgraceful.
Been saying that all year
-
Not bad for the first period. Backus and Kuzy must have got a kick up the jacksy. :P
-
It's been so nice to have penis (see my picture) not announcing anything Too bad he had to come back. I noticed that asshat Doc managed to ass kiss and mention Shittsburgh when mentioning a player..
-

Chorney was better than this guy.
-

Sure. Plenty of time for them to blow it still. :poop:
-
Chorney was better than this guy.
I agree. We didnt improve our team at all with that aquisition.
-
Ya everything still can happen with our guys ;D
-
Sounds like a medley - Goonies to Popeye.
-
Backy got 3 points in the 1st!!
-
Holtby sucks.
-
Holtby needs to come out. This was a weak goal..
-
CARLSON
-
>:( Dylan
-
Something wrong with Holtby this season,but Excellent goal by Carlson!
-
Yeah cuz he should be able to see through two people. Piss off.
-
Holtby needs to come out. This was a weak goal again.
He has to play through this slump. He didnt even see that shot but I agree he should have stopped it. If he was in better position the puck would hit him
-

It's called "team defense is ass".
-
“It ain’t braggin motherfucker if ya back it up” 😈

VRANA

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
-
Excellent breakaway goal!
-
I love watching our team when they play like this!
Comms said that Mitch Korn has been called back into service for Holtby. 8)
-
Does anybody else get the irony and complete hypocrisy of of the NHL banging on and parading their Olympic winners? :sick:
-
so because OV didn't fall down there's no tripping call?? It clearly impeded him
-

Agreed.
We have two of the worst refs in the league tonight, but they know they can't pull too much of their usual crap, because of the status of this game. ;D
-

He's picked up his play a lot after that second goal, but that's a goal he routinely stops. Screen or no screen. He's still a good goalie -- he needs to get his confidence back. He seems to be very down about his play and it's spiraling on him.

I hope Korn is back.

looks like one of the zambonis broke

The commentators on CBC were discussing that the NHL wants to hold an outdoor game in Regina in the new football stadium. Not sure who would be the home team. I'd guess Winnipeg. Not a good idea way too cold here for an outdoor game. If it does happen I'll likely be there.
-
Dig those leafs unis... Caps not so much :O=
Just got caught up, had to work and watch the first two periods taped.
To each his own Hat re: the Leafs uniform. Personally, I think they are butt-ugly. Would’be Been ok with blue pants. The all white is god awful.

It says if it does happen. I corrected it. I hate this fricken autocorrect. It has a mind of its own.

-

It does tell you how much "juice" the NHL doesn’t have.
-
On a positive note, Holts looks better
-

Total Bush league. Good thing I'm watching on CBC
-

Thanks. Can't get my link back up.
What happened with the lights?
-
On a positive note, Holts looks better
Yes he has. I do think the lighting made it harder for the goaltenders to pick up the puck because of the shadows
-
Overall it was a good performance by Caps and from Holtby too :thumbsup:
-

that delay wasn't that long, it appears if it went to a shootout we would've had to switch channels too
efing joke
-
Good all round game against a good team.
-
A little nod to the refs this game. They didn't muck up as badly as usual. :angel:
