the NHL has an outdoor game every year(this year's will be the fifth)on New Year's Day... the game this season will be January 2nd,in Citizen's Bank Park,in Philadelphia,with the Flyers playing against the New York Rangers... that is not the problem...
here is the list of teams involved,in previous Winter Classics(see a theme):
Pittsburgh Penguins,and Philadelphia Flyers (twice)
Boston Bruins
New York Rangers
Washington Capitals
Buffalo Sabres
and the only two Western Conference teams:
Chicago Blackhawks
and the Detroit Red Wings...
there is actually no teams outside of the Northeast,or west of Detroit,or Chicago,involved in the game,so far... the game itself,is a very good idea,but i hate to see the Flyers,Penguins,Rangers,or even the Capitals play each other,time after time... even though they have a Canadian outdoor game,called the Heritage Classic,they have had Edmonton,and Calgary both play Montreal,in those games(2003:Edmonton vs. Montreal,and 2011:Calgary vs. Montreal)... in my opinion,that is not a classic,but an outdoor game,in football,or baseball stadium,and having no team outside of the teams named,is a real joke,and having the Peacock(NBC)broadcast the game makes it is a bigger joke(at least in the US),because of the real lousy team of announcers...
