Winnipeg weather in later-middle October is perfectly cromulent. Hell, it's nearly a month before they held the Grey Cup last year.

Pretty smart to have this in October. There's a chance that the Oilers won't have completely given up on their season yet.

The question is, will the Jets have more wins than the Blue Bombers when this game is played?

The fact that neither team will technically be mathematically eliminated yet is the only saving grace.

But really, I couldn't care less about outdoor games. There should be one per year, max. They have lost their novelty, at least for me.

I wonder if Scott Melanby is in shape to play the alumni game?

You think they can maybe nab Kovalchuk too while they're blurring the lines of their revisionist history?

It won't matter. It can't matter. Or Ladd is going to have to play in the alumni game.

Edmonton will become the new Chicago and they'll play an outdoor game every year to pump McDavid's tires.

Norm!

Seriously they shouldn't allow two really bad teams to be in a showcase game.
This is literally going to be a outdoor toilet bowl, it shouldn't be allowed to happen.
I tend to think that the outdoor games should be a rematch of the Stanley Cup finals on neutral ground.

And this is pretty much the point of my OP.
They shouldnt allow two awful teams to headline a marquee event.

Well all the Canadian teams are bad this year and doesn't the Heritage Classic often feature Canadian teams?
