How was the game and environment since I missed it. the game was pretty good, however the fans started to not care by the end when it was clear chicago was going to lose. final score was 6-4. also I really want one of those chicago black hawks throw back jerseys.

Yeah, the 'Hawks throwbacks were pretty sweet. Were I a Chi-Town fan, I'd splurge on one.
Makes me wonder what the Devils would wear if the Classic was ever done at one of the NYC/NJ baseball/football stadiums, with Devils vs. Rangers.

Well you're not going to have to worry about that since the NHL wouldn't want the Devils in a national marquee game.

Ovechkin boards Heward at about the 1:00 mark. Guy leaves on a stretcher after laying on the ice for close to five minutes ... no penalty for Ovie

Watch the video.. the ref pushes him as he's mid punch and at the same time, Letang pulls the guy forward. Still doesn't make it any better that he was beating on a guy who was being held down, but the ass punch was unintentional. He shoulda got the boot for being 3rd man in though.

The Pens are so bad right now that I'm going to spend the afternoon shoveling horse turds and then going to watch a bunch of 6 - 8 year olds play hockey. Maybe they'll play well if I don't pay attention ?

The East might as well be the Canadiguins.
