So, I started to read the story, headlined by the news that Fenway Park in Boston would host the 2010 Winter Classic.  My immediate first thought was that the Bruins would be playing the Canadiens in that game.  I was mildly surprised when Philly was the opponent.  And then I read the comments...

I like the concept of the Winter Classic.  The first one, in Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium, was not only a sensational game, but seeing a football stadium packed with 72,000 people to watch a hockey game was pretty cool, too.  And the snow - that may have made the event.  For anyone who played hockey as a kid, playing hockey in the snow has got to provide the same kind of thrill that playing football in a driving rain did for me!  It was just more fun.
