Winter Classic

Anybody heading in? It's like Christmas morning for me. Can't wait. Getting in there to "tailgate" around 10:30 am. Huge crowd of friends heading in too!

Lucky you Bronco enjoy yourself, hopefully it won't rain.
I'll be watching it on TV also


Anyone know if the Legends game will be broadcast on TV? It is supposed to be tomorrow and I can't find anything on a listing.

Thumbs up

My Daughter and Shred are going. UPS lost their tickets until 9:30 last night. Those two are huge fans.

It was really cool. Actually surreal for a while. Bruins played like sh*t for 2 1/2 periods and turned it on at the end for the victory. Unreal experience. I am drunk.

Poorly played game. Glad we won. I don't know if it was the pucks or the ice but the Bruins can pass the puck great and they couldn't do anything. One of the worse games I have seen all year.

The pucks definitley seemed to be taking some weird bounces and overall just bouncing a lot more than normal for both teams. The players were saying the ice surface was great. I don't know, maybe the pucks weren't kept cold enough. When they get warm, they bounce much more.

Overall, I enjoyed watching the game. I thought the network did a nice job with the coverage, too. I love the playing outdoor aspect of it. Reminds me of the freezing cold nights playing at Lars Anderson rink as a kid.

If the weather holds up, and they get the college games in on Friday, Marblehead HS will be playing Winthrop HS at Fenway on Saturday. Should be great experience for the kids. Mike Eruzione is an assistant coach for Winthrop, so I'm assuming he had something to do with getting the ice. No clue as to how they pay, or if they have to guarantee a gate/ticket sales.... Certainly hasn't been very well publicized, even here in town.
