This is what a winter classic will look like in miami!
SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES IS FUN
The technology just didn’t exist for warm weather outdoor games yet.
So this is why Wayne left Edmonton
Who’s brilliant idea was it to hold a hockey game outside in LA?
well then were out of the playoffs
We just came out here looking for some San Jose Sharks…Eh…But I guess they were scared…Eh
Winter Classic in Hawaii gone wrong!
OK guys, just have some fun out there, act like you won’t be traded away by the time your team wins the Stanley Cup in a couple years.
I thought NY was colder, I could get used to this!
Not making their respective Winter Olympic hockey teams, the boys make plans to compete in the Summer Olympics underwater hockey competition.
Global Warming!!!!
We better enjoy our time together in the surf because it won’t be long before we all end up in the cold of Edmonton and Chicago so that the Rangers can actually win the Cup.
More New York residents in Florida to warm up 🙂
I bet they wont play anymore outdoor games in Miami anymore
Weight, Rice and Amonte are pictured above at the 1991 NHL rookie showcase in sunny San Jose, California. Sadly this was the last year the rookie showcase was in San Jose as numerous sharks invaded the bay during the 1991 NHL season.
This is the last night they host the Winter Classic in Hawaii.
So this is pond hockey?
Man!This water is a lot colder than it looks!
coach said we needed training for when the MSG roof leaks again
Practicing to play the sharks in the Stanley cup finals .
Dude, global warming won’t stop our pucks from a score.
Amonte: “Think we could reenact the beach scene from Rocky 3?”
Amonte: “I’m Rocky:
Rice: “I’m Apollo”
Weight:”Uhhh who am I”
Amonte: “Mick”
Weight: “but Mick’s dies in Rocky 3”
Amonte and Rice: “We know”
The Beach
A place hockey player hit when then cant hit each other
When Mess said he was bringing us rookies down to the beach for a lobster bake, I had no clue we’d have to catch all the lobster for the team.
hey boys , i got sometin ta tell ya ! sher-wood’s are hockey sticks not fishing poles .
Weight, Rice, and Amonte pictured here somewhere near bermuda. Ironically, the Rangers ’91 season quickly disappeared shortly therafter.
Summer training how it used to be!!!!!!
Power Rangers: Baywatch Edition
Ok guys last shot of the day. ” Thank god these shorts are beginning to chaff ” said Amonte. Count of three say ” don’t hassle the Hoff “.
“Ok I know we play hockey for a living so technically we play in water but who’s idea was it to dump us out in this mess of it, I can’t skate in it. Wait a minute is the goal floating away? NOOOOOOOOO!” -Rice
Sure beats the east river!
Who wears short shorts. We wear short shorts, they’re such short shorts!
Wow guys, I think there is more to this Global Warming thing than we thought!!!!
Who gives a puck! When we have clams to play hockey!
Rookie hazing became much easier after the coach attempted to inspire the team by telling them they’d be better players if they lived by the motto “Carpe Diem”
Hey Richter, nice Speedo!
this is where we will be after the regular season good luck other team we will share the beach with you folks latter :p
The aftermath of the 1991 Caeasars Palace exhibition game.
We lost our boat trying to paddle it with our sticks. I knew that wasn’t going to work.
We beat the sharks, it was a splash!
Meanwhile, the New York Rangers try to figure out how the Tampa Bay Lightning hold their outdoor practices..
The 1991 NY Rangers are so good that the other 29 teams have all dried up on shore.
Can’t wait to turn this into a ice rink!
“Amonte, we brought the paddles. You wete suppose to bring the canoe.”
The key to being an elite athlete is proper hydration.
“You got the right stuff, baby…wait, what this isn’t a boy band audition?”
“You’re sure Kelly Kapowski said she likes hockey players right?”
Man, I don’t know how to swim! Good thing wood floats!
paddling our way to Yankee stadium
