For those of you on here who might be interested, if you have time on New Year's Day, check out the NHL Winter Classic being played outdoors at Fenway Park. That's right FENWAY. It'll be the Flyers vs. the Bruins, and I can't wait. This is turning into one of the coolest traditions is sports! Last year they played it at Wrigley, and it snowed 3" during the game. The players on the bench were just grinning from ear to ear the whole time; you could tell they were just having a ball, just like a bunch of kids out there. I'd rather watch that game than the Super Bowl, unless maybe the Eagles were in it (even then it would be a tough choice).
Now that sounds cool, Roadtoad, I am going to look into that game also. I really love when they do Oldtimers hockey and bring back the greats of years gone by. Now they are not old but in their 40-50's but in sports that is old. I love games like that. Lots of fun. I will be sure to watch that game at Fenway Park. Nice to see your loyality to the Flyers. I was raised on the Montreal Canadiens. Still have a soft spot for them. They were my fathers fav team and the Toronto Maple Leafs were my uncles fav team and when they got to gether that is all they talked and argued about.
