Commentary:
- Apparently, the @Dodgers twitter account ruffled some feathers on Saturday, via Mark Townsend at Big League Stew.
- Jason Drantch at Feelin' Kinda Blue writes, "NHL Stadium Series at Dodger Stadium a Rock 'n Rollin' success".
From the moment, my dad, my uncle and I stepped out of the car, we could tell that this game was going to be like nothing we had ever experienced before. Orange and black jerseys were everywhere, the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings rivalry in the air, with little to no Dodger Blue to be found.
- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Fans pack into Dodger Stadium for outdoor ice hockey".
"But it's nice to come to the park," the Dodgers general manager (Ned Colletti) and passionate hockey fan said, "and not care who wins."
- Jimmy Bramlett at the LAist has written his last post for that online journal, and it's all about the Stadium Series game, "Well that was something". Check it out here. My best wishes to you, sir. I've enjoyed reading your stuff.
- Phil Hecken at UniWatch writes, "Boys of Winter". It's his review of the Stadium Series game at Dodger Stadium. Overall, he was very impressed with it.
- Via Gann Matsuda at Frozen Royalty, "NHL Hits Grand Slam Home Run At Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium".
All one had to do to understand this was to sit down in breathtaking, iconic Dodger Stadium, look slowly around at the packed house, and realize that over 54,000 people had come to see an outdoor NHL game in Los Angeles—many wearing T-shirts and shorts—even though, as reported earlier, tickets were drastically overpriced, not to mention tacking on exorbitant parking fees as high as $50.00.
- Via Jill Painter at the LA Daily News, "Hockey a huge hit at Dodger Stadium".
- Eric Duhatschek at the Globe and Mail writes, "Ice conditions and atmosphere the big winners as Ducks down Kings outdoors".
- nickc79 at Jewels from the Crown writes provides, "Grades and Anaylsis" of the game.
- Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy, "Ducks dominate at Dodger Stadium, shut out Kings in NHL outdoor game".
