Anybody going to Fenway to watch the game in person? Wish I could, I'll be watching the game on TV... Last year's game at Wrigley was really cool.

Who is playing this year? Also, heard they were thinking of doing 2, one in Canada one in the states?

Last year was pretty cool, especially since I'm a Wings fan. This year I just hope they can make the playoffs.

Flyers and Bruins this year... both teams wearing throwbacks... Last year was really cool with Wings and Hawks, two years ago Sabres and Penguins, still have that game recorded

I need to check on one in Canada, the first one they did in Canada with the Oilers and Habs was awesome...

I guess if they do one in Canada again it won't be until next year... http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/stor...a.html?ref=rss

Still, I will certainly watch this year, although they say the weather might get dicey.

It all seems a bit too contrived for me. It only vaguely resembles the event the organizers in Edmonton were going for (some sort of homage to the origins of the game which was originally played on real outdoor ice - still is on local outdoor rinks all over Canada and the US - like on 2 rinks about a block from my house). The only part of it that's real is the game - the hockey is the real deal. I enjoyed the first one in Edmonton (on TV - it was reeeeealllllly cold that night). The game in Buffalo had some great moments (Sid the kid was on fire), and the game last year at Wrigley was great if you're a Wings fan.

The only problem is that it's not the people in the stands that get to enjoy the hockey - it's much better on TV. When you've watched and played a lot of hockey, you have certain expectation. Like being able to see the puck, not having to watch with binoculars, and not suffering from frostbite (not an issue when you're bundled up and actually in the game - you gotta keep moving).

Lol I agree. Im sure it is quite difficult for the the people in Fenway to see the game. They are at least 40-50 yards from the actual ice. Although this has turned into a huge money making opportunity for the NHL and I bet it will be around for a few years. Now....if only they could get the ice outdoors in FL lol

good points about being there in person, but I think it would be cool to be able to say you attended and got to experience a hockey game at Fenway Park

Contrived or not I'll be watching

I'd rather be at Fenway in early October, watching a Red Sox game.

I'd rather play pond hockey than watch it, but there are some great local pond hockey tournaments later in the winter - closer to spring. We had a decent game on boxing day (Dec 26 in Canada) but I really need to get in better shape - I'm not as awesome as my selective memory recalls.

I'll be watching on TV. Haven't missed on yet. This year will be fun to watch Chris Pronger freeze his SoCal a$$ off.

Do you know where he's from? It's in balmy Western Ontario - 1/2 way between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg - it's basically the Canadian Riviera!

Im a fan of neither the Flyers nor the Bruins (Red Wings fan), but I wish I could be at the game. The simple fact that its an outdoor hockey game is cool and the fact that they are forecasting snow is going to make it an even more amazing skeptical.
I am going to be at the Camp Randall Classic in Madison, WI in February when the Wisconsin Badgers take on the Michigan though!

I'm not actually going, but I will most definitely be watching it on TV. Go B's! Sluggish start, but they're getting it going now.

And I think I speak for all New Englanders when I say that there couldn't be a better spot to host an awesome event than Fenway. I wonder if they'll sell Fenway Franks.

Canadian Riviera! Never heard Dryden called that before.

I can't wait til we get an outdoor game at McMahon in Calgary, I'll certainly go to that one, tho I'm skeptical that the NHL will let us have one before they've done a bunch of US cities. Talk radio around here is thinking it'll be in Las Vegas before Calgary.

Yeah, he is from there, but his house is in SoCal where he's lived for many years. Chris admitted that the first time he went back to Edmonton, after the trade to Anaheim, he froze. And that was in November.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
