There are two NHL games happening this weekend at MetLife Stadium, with the first one scheduled for Saturday between the New Jersey team and the Philadelphia Flyers. This matchup holds significance for both teams as they compete for position in the crowded Metropolitan Division. Despite the importance of the game, both clubs managed to have some fun with their outfits, which has become a tradition for outdoor games in recent years. In a previous NHL Winter Classic, the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights dressed up as fishmongers and Elvis impersonators, respectively. So, what did the Devils and Flyers have in store for us this time? Well, they decided to pay homage to some of the greatest Italian-Americans from the entertainment industry. Let’s start with the Flyers, who, given the clues “Italian-American” and “Philadelphia,” made the obvious choice and dressed up as Rocky. Their attire not only showcased style but also provided comfort. Interestingly, this is the second Stadium Series game to have a hint of Rocky, as the 2019 game between the Flyers and Penguins also had a similar theme. Now, let’s move on to the Devils. Once again, given the clues “Italian-American” and “New Jersey,” it’s not hard to guess what they went for. They showed up looking like extras from The Sopranos, which was a fantastic choice. However, it would be a missed opportunity if the Devils didn’t walk out onto the field at MetLife Stadium to the iconic tune of “Woke Up This Morning.” Overall, both teams nailed their looks for this game. It’s worth noting that Tommy DeVito’s agent might have fainted from the levels of stereotypical Italian-American representation.
