If you missed it yesterday, you missed a classic, the Winter Classic played on New Years Day.  It was the first OUTDOORS NHL Hockey game played in the USA.  It was between the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins.  The Penguins won in OT, by the score of 2-1.  The winter elements came into play with heavy snow falling during the game and winter winds chilling the event.  It was played in Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, home of the NFL Bills.  The crowd was an NHL record 71,217 fans to watch this "cool" Winter classic!   I'd like to see more outdoor NHL games being played, as it's the actual element played in by the youth across American and Canada.
