This should be a fun one. I don’t even have to miss my other two games for it!

Bring your tissues when 90k people start chanting "Johnny Hockey" during his tribute

I like that the rink isn't in a different zip code than the fans due to it being a smaller NCAA stadium as opposed to NFL stadium. Weather looks perfect too, cloudy all day and a tick below freezing at puck drop.

Next time it's an NFL stadium, they can just make a full 100 yards plus end zones sized rink and play 10 vs 10

I didn’t even know there was an outdoor game. But Toronto media being Toronto media, shocker they don’t say much about Detroit or Columbus. Not like the games trying to grow or anything

Might as well be a playoff game today. This very well could determine a wildcard in the East as both teams have a hellish schedule remaining.

Columbus jerseys remind me of this guy I knew in high school who used to always crack jokes about how he had two really big “wagon wheels” but an extra small “cannon” if you catch my drift

Same zip code, heck. I live two miles away. I won't be able to make the game, but I'm thinking of leaving the windows open in case the cannon is audible from here.

(It's going to be cold AF, but I've got sweaters...)

I went to the Ottawa one and it was -25C.

Both the Sens and Habs fans in my section were chanting “No OT! No OT!”

I meant the playing surface in relation to the stands. When Gillette hosted Bruins-Habs the rink looked like it was a mile away from the stands. All that dead space on the field drives me nuts. Put some standing room areas around it ir something

The stadium is huge, and bigger than NFL stadiums. At least there’s no track around the football field which puts the stands a mile away. The seats are pretty close to the field.
