Ranger goalies will wear helmets honoring Giants Legends  
KingBlue : 2/18/2024 10:12 am : link
Given the unique nature and location of the game, the Rangers ordered up new goalie helmets and drew inspiration from their surroundings.

Jonathan Quick will honor New York Giants legends Lawrence Taylor and Michael Strahan with a beautiful airbrush.
Goalie Helmets - ( New Window )
Hopefully

LGI
Think the keepers are in for a world of hurt  
ColHowPepper : 2/18/2024 10:33 am : link
depending if the sun at time of opening FO is above the Stadium rim, could be blinding, not only directly in the face but reflecting off ice.

Last night's game, though ABC production was generally poor, there were some excellent camera angles top down, prolly using NFL cam-on-a-wire.
Rempe and Edstrom will be like two skyscrapers on the ice

Will highlight the Henrique goal as part of the game intro seeing as they led a Devils-Flyers telecast with Messier highlights...

they're called slides. some manufacturers say they aid in recovery. hockey players feet take a beating (as you know - goalies probably worse). I think they're just convenient. All the usual suspect manufacturers make them (Bauer, CCM, Nike, Warrior, etc.) - pretty much the same things I had 20 years ago from Adidas.

We’re all settled at MetLife, where the wind is no joke and I’m glad to be inside. Sounds like real start time will be 3:45 due to light glare issue on the ice.

JBQ and pj, got it and we officials put them on pre- and post-game, as you cite, but it was 24 degrees out!! I guess that’s what growing up in SWE and QUE will do for you
The NHL has done enough of these games  
Mad Mike : 2/18/2024 2:36 pm : link
that there's really no excuse not to have start times figured out.

Amazing to think Daniel Jones has the same chance of throwing a touchdown at MetLife today as he does at a Giants home game.
Ice surface  
MNP70 : 2/18/2024 3:16 pm : link
I am a hockey novice and I have heard that the ice at MSG is notoriously of poor quality. Can anyone share some info about the difference the ice today vs MSG's? Which is better and why is what I'm asking.

Generally speaking the colder the temps the better the ice surface. MSG is warm, like most professional sports team arenas, so the ice surface isn't that great. I'm not speaking from experience b/c I have not been on the MetLife ice, but being cold out (upper 30's?) I bet it's better than MSG and most arenas.

the outdoor games have problems when the temp gets warm or the sun is beating down on the ice and there is some melting. I don't think they'll have that problem today, especially with the pushed back start time (which was due to glare but I think it will help with the ice surface too)
Just to show how bad things are

in Giants Land, they have 3 guys at this game who won’t even be on the team.

There’s that third line again

sure didn’t waste any time getting himself into the game. That was a great scrap between him and Martin.

from the early embarrassment. And by embarrassment, I'm talking about having our jersey worn by those jokers who played between periods. WTF was that, did they find those guys playing in the subway and felt bad that no one was giving them any money?
