It will be the southernmost outdoor game for the NHL.“Over the last three decades Michael Del Zotto Jersey , we have brought hockey to places that no one ever dreamed we’d take this game,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Wednesday. “Dallas, and for that matter Nashville, are quintessential examples of the hockey boom.”Bettman joined representatives from the Stars and Predators at the stadium to talk about the next Winter Classic, which was revealed earlier this year. They announced that tickets will go on sale April 23 and unveiled the official logo for the first outdoor game for both the Stars and Predators.The stadium was home to the traditional New Year’s Day Cotton Bowl game from 1937 until 2009, when that game moved to the Dallas Cowboys’ retractable-roof stadium.

We really pushed in the second period, though, and got ourselves back into the game http://www.officialcanucks.com/authentic-adidas-sven-baertschi-jersey ,” Reimer said. “They have some great guys for the shootout — I’ve faced them enough to know. So you just try to keep your eyes on the puck and not fall for their tricks.”Reimer denied Gustav Nyquist, Frans Nielsen — the NHL’s career leader in shootout goals — and Dylan Larkin.Andreas Athanasiou, Nyquist and Thomas Vanek scored for Detroit, which has lost its last five games (0-3-2).
