    Any love for the NHL winter classic on now?

    I am a diehard Carolina Hurricanes fan and the Flyers. I think this is one of the best games of the year. Even with all the great football on now it's all hockey for me. I am really looking forward to this new NBC sports and how they cover the sport.
    GO FLYERSSSSS dang the rangers just tied it at 2.

    I was looking for this on XMas day when it used to be on.

      The Winter Classic has always been a New Year's Day game; it started in 2008.
      I personally love it; a welcome diversion from so much football.

        You must be thinking of a different game. The winter classic has always been January 1st but they moved it up a day this year cause it fell on a Sunday. The NHL knows to not fool with the NFL on a Sunday. I know were not the only 2 people on here that like Hockey.

            Well, I knew it was on a holiday, could have sworn it was XMas.

                nobody really, just like the idea of the outdoor game, the one at Wrigley Field was really neat to see.

                  I like it, but I could do with a little less hype. Still, it was nice to see clips from the alumni game.

                  I wish they'd do a few more of these outdoor games, maybe 4 per year, so each of the northern markets could have one every 4-5 years (with at least 1 in Canada every year). The Blue Jackets could probably sell 40-50,000 tickets to a game in Ohio Stadium, and it'd be nice to have an excuse to tailgate before a BJ's game. Maybe do it around Feb 1 so the OSU students are in town.

                    The hype is a part of every huge game. Other than today i thought the hype was pretty low key. Now also they pushed the start of the game back 2 hours for ice conditions so they had to fill that 2 hours. I was upset at the refs today, and they were lousy all around. Too many pucks blown dead that were still in play.

                      I've missed it last few years. I usually catch the World Juniors on Boxing day though.

                        Loved it! I not only watched it I recorded it.
                        As a Bruins fan I COULDN'T root for the Flyers so I was pleased when the Rangers won.

                          Anything that can advance the most underrated sport out there is good. I had to miss it as my son had a soccer scrimmage. GO STARS!

                            Well Jim i must agree. I think Hockey is the greatest sport ever.

                              Ranger fan here. I missed the game but heard last 5 minutes in car on way home from work. The broadcast was thrilling, the bad calls by the refs had the commentator going nuts! A penalty shot in the last couple minutes with the Rangers up a goal 3-2 , man I wish I set the DVr, it had to have been great to watch
