Not sure this has already been posted, but are they turning Fenway Park into an ice rink for a Bruins game?

Yep they certainly are, work starts at Fenway today ready for the Bruins V Flyers on January 1st.

Bit risky isn't it, as the weather generally isn't great up there at that time of the year is it.

The game is the Winter Classic which the NHL have been doing once every year since 2008 Sabres V Pittsburgh at Ralph Williams Stadium NY, 2009 Blackhawks V Redwings at Wrigley Field Chicago.

The predecessor to the Winter Classic games was the Heritage Classic which took place in Edmonton and was the Oilers V Montreal

Hawks blank to Bolts 4-0 with Antti Niemi getting himself his 3rd shut out of the season from only 8 starts!!!

Marian Hossa scoring a great goal gloving down a high puck and rifling it in on the volley before the puck hit the ice taking him to a return of 9pts from 9 games since his Hawks debut after injury.

The Hawks blank a team for the second game running giving St Louis the Blues with 3-0 win. Huet getting the second shut out out for the Hawks in as many games after Niemi blanked the Bolts.

Hawks beat the Wings 3-0 with Huet getting his second consecutive shut out turning away 20 shots. Good win for the Hawks even if the Wings are suffering with injuries, always good to beat them no matter.

The Hawks fans have chanted 'Detroit sucks' at games for years and for the first time in a long time they actually do suck this season.Partly due to injuries but having 2 average at best n/m's doesn't help.

Sharks rob the Hawks to take the lead in the Eastern Conference. Naborkov has the game of his life in stopping the Hawks turning away 45 shots on the Sharks net in a game the Hawks outshot the Sharks 47 to 14. Huet playing after to consectutive shut outs had a fairly weak night between the pipes.

The Blackhawks move to the top of the Conference standings and the League standards as they beat the Predators 4-1 & 5-4 in home and home games taking a clean sweep of the Predators 4-0 and moving 8pts ahead of them in the Division.

Its been long time since the Hawks have led the conference let alone the league, lets hope it continues and Quenneville can end the wait for Lord Stanley this season, still a long way to go yet but good to see the Hawks improving every year.

I watched the game last night online and Kane just seems to get better and better,he's turning in to the go to guy more than toews.I'd watch out for the Canucks come playoff time,after the Hawks game i watched them easily beat the Flames in Calgary.

Huet has a mare letting in 4 goals from 10 shots before being pulled by Quenneville as the Hawks get beat in Dallas 5-4 by the Stars.

Just watched Boston beat Philly in this years winter clasic in Fenway park.I still think it looks strange playing in a baseball stadium as last year did.Part of the fans are 20 feet away while others are 150+ feet away.It looks much better played in a football stadium like it was in Buffalo a couple of years ago.

Boston Bruins sign Miroslav Satan on a 1 year deal

Hawks beat the rampant Devils 5-1 totally dominating them after taking control of the game in 2nd period. Huet making up for his poor performance earlier with a great display in the net.

Hawks follow up the win against the Devilswith another strong performance against the Blues and their new coach Davis Payne after relieving Murray of his head coaching duties beating them 6-3.

The Hawks carry with good solid play taking down the Ducks 5-2 with Anti Niemi having another good game between the pipes.

Hawks pick up another win in Minnesota downing the Wild 4-1. Hossa having a 2 goal game for the second game running.

This win takes the Hawks 2pts clear of the Sharks & Devils in the race for the Presidents Trophy

The Hawks train continues to roll with another strong game beating the Bruins 5-2. Hawks scored 5 unanswered goals after going 2 nil down in Boston. Hawks offence looks to be getting better every game, Kane still on his scoring streak and the team defence snuffing out Boston in the 2nd & 3rd period.

Hope they dont peak too soon, this 5th straight win takes them back to a 2pt lead in the overall standings over the Sharks

The only thing that can stop them at the moment is the olympic break.Hopefully they can pick it up again when the olympics are over.

The Hawks slipped up last night as they had a 5-1 lead going into the 3rd period but lost 6-5 in the shootout to the Wild with Huet letting 5 goals in from only 21 shots.Maybe this is a wake up call for the Hawks that you have to play all 60 mins to win in the NHL.

The way Huet was playing Quenneville should have pulled him and replaced him with Niemi. Disappointing final result but at least its still a point on the road but should have been 2. As you say though hope it works as a wake up call to them that they still have to work hard as a team for 60 minutes regardless of how well they are playing.

Anybody else got espn 360?for 70 quid i've been able to watch every game in the NHL this season.Wish i'd have got this a lot sooner than I have.

The way the Leafs have been going this season, I'm seeing more than enough, thanks

Yep best thing ever losing Setanta as made me go and get a new TV with HDMI and signed up to ESPN 360 and have it fed through the TV. Only problem I have had has been sometimes cant get the 'on demand' working and the picture can sometimes be a bit slow but think that is due to the wonders of KC/Karoo.

The Hawks and Huet back to winning ways with a strong and solid 3-0 win against the Jackets. Really think Huet has a problem with his head as when he has his mind on the game he is great but when he doesnt he stinks ala 4 goals in the 3rd period against the Wild.

Still 11pts, 5 wins, 1 loss & 1 loss on S/O from a gruelling strat to the New Year of 6 games in 9 Days is a good return. Just goes to show the level of performance and expectation in the Hawks (when us fans are disappointed in a loss this season) with their turn around over the last few years.
Long may it continue!!!!!!

Bruins beat the Sharks 2-1 in a SO

Blackhawks get their 8 game road trip off to a good start with a 6-5 win in Columbus and a 4-3 S/O win against the old rivals Detroit the following night. Chicago go back in front of Jan Jose in the race for the Presidents Trophy.
