Winter Classic 2010

I am a fail at updating this thing. Sorry! I swear I will try harder. I promise.

First off, Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a safe and happy night/morning, and that 2010 brings you all whatever you wish. I had a very nice night with some friends, including Shelby & Tamara of The Coldffalo Train.

Second... the Winter Classic. I was cheering for the Bruins, because I simply can't stand the Flyers. Yes, Boston's a division rival, but... I don't care. Dating within the division XD The only Flyers I like are Carter, Richards, and Coburn, but I still don't like the team.

It was a good game - the most physical of all the WCs so far, including the first fights in a WC so far! I still say that having the event in a football stadium is better than having it in a baseball stadium, for numerous reasons:

- Football stadiums hold more people. Ralph Wilson Stadium's 2008 WC hosted over 71,000 people, while today's event at Fenway Park only hosted just over 38,000.

- The set up at baseball stadiums is awkward. The rink isn't shaped properly to be placed on a baseball diamond, which makes it uneven in terms of how far it is from the fans. Some of the fans are SUPER close to the rink, while others end up super far away. I just don't like that idea. The football field & ice rink are shaped the same, at the very least, offering for a more even view for all.

Also... nothing will ever beat the 2008 Winter Classic. The "snow globe" atmosphere made it truly perfect.

Anyways, yes. Boston won! In overtime! Cheers!

I'm hoping that next time they do a Winter Classic, it's between two Canadian teams. Toronto/Ottawa (Battle of Ontario) perhaps? :D

The Sabres are now playing the Thrashers, it's scoreless after one. Let's win this one, boys!
