CHILLS
Man, why didn't they think of this years ago?
But tonight's Canadiens/Oilers game was well worth the wait. I just saw the highlights on Sportscenter and boy, I would have loved to have been there in Edmonton. Of course, that would involve freezing my ass off, but that's fine with me.
There really isn't any words to explain how cool the Heritage Classic is. So here's some pics.
Canadian Air Force flies over Commonwealth Stadium
Mark Messier. Guy Lafleur. Wowness.
A view of the madness from one's guy's glasses
O Canada
The Oilers' Eric Brewer scores in the 2nd period
Canadiens goalie Jose Theodore freezing his ass off, with a cool looking beanie I might add.
This is what the "Southwest Airlines Goal Cam" would look like, if NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was smart and had put this game on American television
Oh yeah, the Canadiens beat the Oilers, 4-3. Richard Zednik scored 2 goals for Montreal, with the game-winner at 14:18 of the 3rd period. Theodore had 34 saves to help the Habs win the first outdoor game in NHL history.
57,167 fans were on hand to witness history. If David and I were there, it would be 57,169. But sadly, it wasn't to be.
It's nights like tonight where I wish I grew up in Canada. I've been a hockey fan since I was a little kid. But I'll never really be able to understand how much this sport really means to the great folks up north. God bless them.
We love hockey. You should too. So get your game on...
Game On.
