Phil Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 When the NHL on NBC broadcast schedule was released last week, one game stood out as an oddity: Colorado at Vegas on Feb. 20. It is the network?s lone Saturday telecast before April 17. The next day, there?s a Philadelphia-Boston matchup that?s also a bit strange. For the Bruins, it?s their only game in six days; for the Flyers it?s their only one in five. In the travel-friendly East Division, that?s unusual. There is a logical explanation. According to multiple sources, the NHL is beginning its Mystery, Alaska experiment, with four teams as part of a unique two-game, two-day ?Outdoor Weekend? showcase at Lake Tahoe. Edgewood Tahoe Resort, home of the popular celebrity golf tournament, is hosting these games, which will be played around the 16th, 17th and 18th holes. Fans will not be in attendance, with the number of people limited to about 400 ? basically the teams? travelling parties and whoever is needed to work. It will give television different opportunities to broadcast the games, such as drone cameras. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-planning-two-outdoor-games-lake-tahoe-2021-season/ Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphinity 2.0 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 This should be pretty awesome. I hope they don't build out too many structures and let the natural beauty be the centerpiece - having no fans should help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I don't get the outdoor games. I've been stuck in outdoor ice almost all year. Beautiful lakes, and shitty back yards. It's all a giant PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 #shitshow The ice is soooooo bad. Can't see how they return for the second period any time soon. Some of those ruts are stick blade width wide and well over an inch deep. Guys falling all over the place just gliding during time outs. Would be horrible if somebody gets hurt just for a postcard setting. They moved tomorrow's game from 2 to 7:00pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
