I’m watching the NHL Winter Classic between Detroit and Toronto. Both teams are in Boston’s division, and I just hate them both in general. I’d like to figure out a way for both teams to lose.
I love this event even though the weather makes the actual hockey kinda suck. What really ruins things this year is that there will be six outdoor games instead of just one. The Olympics are a great event for NHL fans too. Maybe we should pause every season for an international tournament. All Star games can be fun too, why don’t we have five or six of those each year as well.
The fact that the outdoor game was once a year was the very thing that made the event so special. Doing it more than once waters it down to the point where it’s no big deal anymore. Hey, why not have 30 per season. We can have two outdoor Saturdays. One in January, where half of the teams can host a game at a football or baseball stadium, and then another in February where the other half of the teams host. That should pretty much suck all of the life out of playing outside. Let’s do it!
Or… We can just have the one Winter Classic game on New Year’s Day.
