These games are great. I hope people are watching. It also looks very cold too.

Last year it was snowing, IIRC.

I attended one of the NHL Stadium Classic games in New York a few years ago. It was about 12 degrees out at faceoff time, and it got worse when it clouded over after the first period. The rest of the game was played in a series of snow squalls.

I attended one in 2010. While I’m not a fan of the one I attended, I do watch them on TV. Love the winter festival look of them.

If I remember correctly, there’s an interesting combination of circumstances that requires the NHL to schedule this as a Buffalo home game even though it’s being played in New York City.

Beginning of the NHL season for me. That’s the problem with long seasons, I just can’t muster it for hockey until we get close to the halfway point.

Hockey Ping!

(let me know if you want on or off the ping list)

The Rangers win. In OT 3-2. Sabres played well & their goalkeeper was real good.

The stands were FULL at what, 1 degree F? Whoa.

I got to go to the Winter Classic a few years ago at Dodger Stadium. We really didn’t need our warm jackets we brought. It was awesome though. Worth every penny.

These players must have been way colder than in arenas today! So cool to see hockey in the sunshine.
