I don't particularly care about the two teams in this game, but seeing professional hockey played outside is always fun. The elements make the game that more interesting. It's those elements that make me believe that I'll never see a Winter Classic in California in my lifetime. If the news is correct, today is going to be around 80 degrees in So Cal. Not exactly prime hockey weather. Anyway, if you aren't at work today (or maybe you are...), feel free to comment on the game in the thread.
Oh, if you haven't heard yet, Ilya Bryzgalov is not starting and had some crazy words for the media as to why. This is year one of his nine (!!!) year deal. Awk-ward! Enjoy the game, kids! Stay warm cool!
