Day games are weird. Morning games are weirder. This game started at 10am Pacific, which meant I got to start watching it with a cup of coffee in hand. That’s a luxury normally reserved for football, the Annual Chicago Blackhawks New Year’s Day Game, and Olympic sports. So, a Stars game in PJs is a treat, if an unusual one.
More unusual was the opportunity to see the home team wearing light-colored jerseys/sweaters. Philly went with some gold-numbered 50th anniversary jobbies or something, which meant that Dallas got to rock the Victory Green on the road. I’m solidly in the camp that thinks road uniforms ought to be the colorful ones as well, by the way.
