NHL Winter Classic...WHAT A DAY!!!

[THE COLONEL]

The atmosphere of this game was amazing.  Here are some pics that I took from the game with a friend of mine.  For anyone that did not know, The Pittsburgh Penguins played the Buffalo sabres on New Years Day, inside Ralph Wilson Stadium, the home of the Buffalo Bills.  I will post a few pics, but if anyone wants to see the entire inventory of pics, click my photobucket link here: http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/TheColonel01/?start=0

I watched part of that game.  Man, it had to be freezing with an open arena and snow falling too! Your obviously braver than most!!!!! Did you boy go too?

Very cool (no pun intended  ). It would be difficult, I think to really watch a hockey game from so far away. I'm used to being up a lot closer when I see my Sharks play. Other that being so far away, it looked like a good time. Old time Hockey, and all that .

You went to that!   

I would have loved to have gone.  71,000 + fans, not too cold, a light snow and a great atmosphere and the game was a good one as well.

My Brother went to the one in Edmonton.

You're photos are cool also.

Thanks guys.  My son did not go, because I wasn't sure how cold it would get, but it was not bad at all.  It was about 30-32 degrees until the third period, then it took a tumble, but not near as far as the one in Edmonton.  Now that would have been cold!!!

the hansen brothers (from the movie slap shot) are going to play in the Topeka Roadrunners game on Saturday here in Kansas... I cannot make it, have a car club meeting, but man... I love watching those guys kick a55!  they are actually going to play for the roadrunners in a semipro hockey game.

i know its not as glamorous as what you NHL guys get to go see, but hey... its kansas.. and well we almost got the penguins

Good game . Way too much Crosby hype on NBC though . Malkin is THE man.

Excellent Post bro! That looked like a lot of fun!

That looked like a lot of fun!

You have no idea!!!!!  I could have watched two more games.  What a time.

I watched some of that onTV.
It was a great event by all accounts. The best part is that it was a real game this time.

There was an unwritten rule at the Edmonton game: "It's too cold to be hitting. Someone will get hurt. So lay off.."

Not so in this game.
