NHL Winter Classic

Ever since I remembered that the NHL was doing this really cool thing, holding a game outdoors on New Years Day -- I thought, "Wow, this is gonna be awesome. 70,000 fans in Ralph Wilson Stadium!" But then you remember what you're talking about... hockey.

So I justed turned it on and, just as it is here, it's snowing there. I'm talking some serious snow. That's really awesome but again it's hockey.

So this begs the question how much of this awesome (in theory) game can I watch?

Observations:
--Bob Costas is there and that makes me smile as always.
--The Penguins are wearing some atrocious throwbacks. This is the one game that more than a handful of people outside of Pittsburgh will see -- this is not putter your best foot forward.
--I wonder how much AMP payed to be the title sponsor.
--Holy crap those Penguins uni's are as awful as I pictured them. And those Sabres ones are freakin sweet.
--What a mess this would be in Crosby got badly injured due to these conditions.
--This game might hit double digits -- goal 19 seconds in...

Enjoy.
