Back and forth we go... I am starting to wonder how great Luongo could be if he was consistent?

I think that's the question that everyone is asking. Holy shit - if he always played like he did last night, damn...

It was a fun game (the little of it I saw, but the highlights looked amazing).

Vancouver wins it in Boston.
 
it was lame and it takes away from the Winter Classic.

You're lame. The Heritage Classic is 54327527397235435345 times better than the Winter Classic anyway. Let the Canadians (i.e. real hockey fans) have our outdoor game and don't watch it if you don't like it. It's not for you anyway.

Watching Gary Roberts, Joe Nieuwendyk, Lanny McDonald, Al MacInnis, Theo Fleury, and Mike Vernon lace them up against the likes of Brent Gilchrist, Benoit Brunet, Mike Keane, Russ Courtnall, and Kirk Muller in the alumni game. Yeah, that's really lame.

Not to mention how amazing the original Heritage Classic was, which was the NHL's first outdoor game. It was still by far the best outdoor game the NHL has ever had. And yours truly was there. How about Guy Lafleur, Benoit Brunet, Guy Carbonneau, Russ Courtnall, Kirk Muller, and Larry Robinson against Paul Coffey, Kevin Lowe, Glenn Anderson, Jari Kurri, Dave Semenko, Esa Tikkanen, Mark Messier, Bill Ranford, Grant Fuhr, and, oh yeah, a guy named Wayne Gretzky in the alumni game. How about seeing Ranford and Fuhr stand on their heads as if they were still in their prime. How about watching Mark Messier shovel snow off the ice during the intermission like he was twelve years old again and playing shinny with his friends. If a person finds any of that to be lame then they're not even a real hockey fan. I guess if it had involved the Tampa Bay Lightning in some way then it wouldn't be lame for you. Probably lame for everybody else, but at least you'd enjoy it.

The Winter Classic has never featured anything even close to that good and it only exists thanks to the Heritage Classic in the first place.

this past one was dull and they had to keep fixing the ice. but you're right. you must be, otherwise why write all that?

remember, arguing over the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics. even if you win, you're still a retard. good day, sir.

Wow, I just lost quite a bit of respect for you.

You made a flippant statement, someone responded with a well thought out, intelligent response. You responded with a flippant statement.

In any case, how about you pour yourself a nice, tall glass of "shut the fuck up," and watch hockey tonight? Or perhaps they won't be showing the game in your area, as you're in the wrong part of the country to be enjoying a possible cup victory?

well thought out and intelligent, eh? seems more like a bunch of stabs at me because of my opinion.

i'll be sure to pour you a nice glass of shut the fuck up too.

oh, and the game is on NBC by the way. of course i'll be watching it. nobody here, and i mean nobody, is a bigger hockey fan than i.

I'm glad to hear it. I need a HUGE glass of shut the fuck up.

I'm also glad you'll be able to watch it - hockey fans should be able to see the sport. Nationally televised is how hockey should be.

I still think you rod made some good points.

The Heritage Classic sucked. How many games is it going to take before Canadians start complaining about how the Canadiens are in all the games? I mean, Pittsburgh has been in two Winter Classics and I never hear the end of it...

The problem with the Heritage Classic is that there are no outdoor arenas in Canada worth a shit. Vancouver and Montreal both have indoor stadiums, both of Toronto's outdoor stadiums are owned by MLSE's competition, Calgary and Edmonton have already hosted the event, Ottawa doesn't have one and Winnipeg's is hardly the kind of place you would hold a major event. Unless the NHL decides to bite the bullet and put the game in Saskatchewan or Hamilton, the game is going to go from something unique to a waste of time. Really quickly.
