No, I'd have been happier if Florida had also beaten the Penguins. Why do they have to have one of their fairly rare, good games against us and then lose (in OT) to our closest rivals in the Atlantic Division.

Quiet night tonight. But on Monday night (Flyers-Bruins) it's a warm up for the Winter Classic...

How popular is the Winter Classic in North America?
Would the league/other teams like to hold more than one game outdoors per season, or is the cost of setting up the temporary rink too expensive to do more than one?
Does the NHL cover the cost of the rink build or is it down to the hosts?

From the webcam shot, a hockey rink in Fenway Park just looks wrong.

I doubt if ESPN-UK will be showing the game live? A 1pm start in Boston is too early to show it live over here at 6pm, they'd rather show a live Italian or German football match.
