The Winter Classic at Fenway Park 2: The Reckoning

It was announced today that the 2023 NHL Winter Classic will be held at Fenway Park… again. Fenway Park was the home of the game in 2010 when the Bruins beat the Flyers 2-1 on a legendary (to Bruins fans at least) overtime goal by Marco Sturm. Massachusetts also hosted the Winter Classic one other time, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, but we won’t be talking about that shit of a game.

I will watch the game if I can. January 1st… we may be in Disney World, though that probably won’t happen until a couple of days later? I wonder if we’ll be on a plane. Hmmmmm. If we are visiting The Mouse, maybe I will watch the game from the hotel room (he said kiddingly).

The tweet doesn’t say who we’ll be playing, but given that the guy who owns the Red Sox and Fenway Park now owns the Pittsburgh Penguins, how much do you wanna bet we will play the Pittsburgh Penguins?

Winter Classic

The Bruins are in the Winter Classic this year.  New Years Day against the Canadiens at Gillette Stadium.  I’ve still never been to Gillette.  New Years Day runs the risk of brutally cold weather, and that’s the main reason I didn’t look at tickets when they first became available.

Today though, I just looked at stubhub.  The cheapest tickets they have are running about $220 each.  The seats themselves though… I think they are closer to Rhode Island than to the actual ice.

Still… no, I can’t… but still….

2016 Winter Classic

The NHL just announced that the 2016 Winter Classic will be the Boston Bruins vs the Montreal Canadians at Gillette Stadium.

I’ve never been to Gillette.  If it weren’t for the whole winter aspect, I’d be really psyched.
