Conklin to start his 3rd Winter/Heritage classic game

[glove-save]

Just saw an interview with Chris Osgood who confirmed that he won't be starting tomorrow in the winter classic

[bigcheez99]

3 pack!

[Voodoo Chylde]

A limited release, all reused poses 3-pack would be a nice way to commemorate this.

[Poochiesdead]

Awesome!

And no we still don't need a Conklin figure let alone a 3 pack. Although I'll take a Toews/Zetterberg 2 pack to go with that Miller and Crosby we're all waiting for. :D

[Wrestling Fan]

That's pretty cool for him

I have watched both practises on NHL network and no retro gear. Looks like Huet or Khabby has a new mask for the occaision

[heavymetalmachine]

I was worried when I saw Conky started last night, but that's awesome that he'll be starting again. Are there any other players who will have played in all three after tomorrow?

[glove-save]

Tomorrow will be Brian Campbells 2nd, might be the only guy with 2

[sabressixx]

Laraque has two as well

[tvp2003]

Wow, it's a bizarre streak to say the least (especially considering Conklin has virtually been and probably will be a backup for the rest of his career).

[right between the eyes]

This is the rubber match for Conklin....he's 1 win (Pitt) and 1 loss (Edm) so far.

[sabressixx]

im torn on rooting for conklin....former sabre or kane a good buffalo boy

[silversurfur65]

If and When TMP makes a Patrick Kane SP....it would be cool to see him made sporting the Winter Classic old skool jersey and the specially made skates he is going to wear for the game !!

I'd buy the 3 pack if it was made.

[madcracker]

That will make for an interesting trivia question sometime. I don't think a three-pack would have any chance of selling though.

[human_anomaly]

honestly, it would be really cool

maybe a Collector's Club Item, with a snowy base for each one
3 diff repaints would be best though, for a threepack it would be more interesting than the same fig in 3 different jerseys

[MLabrosc02]

Yea, I would definitely buy this three pack if it was made.

Very cool.

[Philly 5-0]

Damm this game is going to be awesome

[Elias_Devil]

A Ty Conkin three pack might be the worst idea ever.

No that would be a Florida Panthers 3 pack

[WingNut 25]

Mike Bab**** confirmed it this morning in the Detroit papers. No surprise given that Osgood isn't 100% and Conks has beaten the Hawks 3 times already this year.

[human_anomaly]

A Ty Conkin three pack might be the worst idea ever.

Yea, it's definitely worse than a Domi, Tucker, Leech, Raycroft etc...

Seriously, it appeals to three team markets, goalie collectors as well as fans of the vintage games in general, this is one of the cases where the name doesn't really matter, it's going to sell

[exanimate]

I would buy that 3 pack.

[The_Kid]

Last year his pads sucked. Didn't Fleury have the retro gear and Conklin had black and metallic gold pads? Terrible.

[molhen]

it sure is something though..3 classics in a row....sounds fixed in a way!LOL

So where is conklin going next year?? ;)

[ToightLikeATiger]

Ty Conklin is a very underrated and under appreciated goalie in the NHL. He should be a starter. Last year he kept the Penguins going very strong after Fluery went down in net. This year he has played well (besides the Bruins game) for the RedWings.

I dont get why Conklin gets a bad wrap...I know there was the 1 play in the Stanley Cup Finals a few years back but thats not fair to judge him on. Edmonton would have won that Finals too if they had stuck with Conklin in net the rest of the series!!!!

[Hornz Over Halos]

I would buy that 3 pack.



I think I would too.

[93leafs]

Lidstrom, Zetter & Pavel would be better 3-pack.

[PhillyWing19]

I would buy any 3-pack with modern era Red Wings in it.

I agree that a Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Lidstrom2 three-pack in these jerseys would be outstanding and several would be purchased, but I would also take a Conklin in all 3 outdoor game jerseys. His mask from last year's game alone, if done accurately, would be worth it alone!

[wong94]

I'd buy any three pack if they were PAINTED!!!!!!
