Winter Classic Live Blog

In a combined effort between two of the hockey blogosphere's biggest players, James Mirtle and Greg Wyshynski (the one and only Puck Daddy), we present to you the biggest, baddest live blog on the planet.

Feel free to jump in with your comments. The guys from Second City Hockey and the guy and girl from Winging It In Motown (yeah, yeah, we know. But you'll go check it out anyway now that I said there's a girl over there) will be at the game and sending in pictures and dispatches from the event.

And yeah, as Blues fans this is kinda like watching the guy you hate the most from your neighborhood fighting the guy you hate the most from work: You don't really want to root for either of them, but you know you're gonna watch anyway.

does anyone else get the idea that the people doing these interviews don’t know shit about hockey (Costas, of course, is a consummate professional)?

Screw NBC… I’m watching this on NHL Network (which I didn’t know until today that I had).

Yeah, they’re Canada-centric (as evidenced by the way they slobber all over Canada’s 7-4 win over Team USA last night), but at least these guys know what they’re talking about.

I just LOVE what the Hawks did with making the Shit Wings have to walk from Elgin to get to the rink… good on ’em.

Yeah, I’m Illinois born and bred, so I’m rooting for the Hawks today.

I like what John McDonough just said about how the Hawks were the youngest team in the NHL… that’s what the Blues need to be. Of course, they’ll need a new coach before they get there…

NHL network isnt airing the game, just a bunch of pre game stuff.

Shit, you're right...

Oh, well… at least the re-game will be good.

I’m not really digging the live blog auto-scroll. I can’t read old comments because it jumps to the end when a new comment appears.

Looks like that goal opened up the game ALOT. Ice looked kind of sluggish, but maybe that was just the players passing with some timidity.

bullshit! I noticed “Bufflin” didn’t have a Reebok logo and tried to get into the site for like 10 minutes, and it kept saying service unavailable. THEN they announce that he’s the guy.
fuck, I didn’t know there was a cutoff time, at least not before the game ended

by Dooks on Jan 1, 2009 3:05 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

LOL, to me it looked like nobody had the goddamn logo. I was like “oh that guy doesn’t have it, oh wait neither does that guy, oh wait maybe it’s the other guy, ok… I guess don’t fucking know who it is.”

I watched the game.

And I have to say that life tore me a new one there >.<

And did anyone else hear what Osgood said about going to the bathroom during the commerical? I nearly died laughing.

And Huet made me fucking laugh. He was smiling excessivly and then when they pulled him he almost went nuts, he was so pissed off after that. HAHA

Liked the live blog, but sometimes it was like farting into the wind. Too much action to carry on a good game of comment tennis.

Thanks for stopping by. And there were some Game Time references from unknown screen names which was entertaining.

Hectic. That’s what Sean and I called it. I sent some suggestions to Mirtle about a next time. If there is a next time.

by Brad Lee on Jan 1, 2009 3:47 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Too many jake oafs at the “official” live blog. I like ours here better, where there are a few people, but no so many that you can’t keep straight who said what when.

Next year, they need to have this thing at Coors Field and have the Blues and the Avalanches play… I don’t know if we here in St. Louis are far enough north, or have a resonable guarantee of good cold weather on New Years Day, to host the game here, but I’d sure like to see one at Busch Stadium.

No one that has been it it already (EDM, MTL, BUF, PIT, Chi, DET) should be in it again until everyone’s had a chance to be in it.

Of course, Bettman and the rest of the Madoffs that run the NHL will want their little favorites playing in it every time, so count on seeing those fucksticks in the used-tampon-colored outfits in this game at least twice more before the Blues ever get so much as a sniff..

Keystone Lake Zamboni falls through thin ice


A Zamboni took a dip in North America's largest groomed skating pond at Keystone Resort tonight.
A driver was grooming the lake at about 6:15 p.m., when the ice cracked and the 7,000-pound machine began to sink at about 6:15 p.m. As a precaution, skaters were cleared from another area of the 5-acre pond, resort spokesman Ryan Whaley said. The driver was not injured.
There was no word immediately on how soon the rink might re-open, but staff will examine the ice and remove the Zamboni Wednesday, Whaley said.
"They'll take it out and we'll see how it is," Whaley said of the machine and the safety of the ice around the crater.
With a lake that large, other areas could reopen immediately, he said.

Once it dries out, the machine is likely salvageable, he said.
Kenneth Waesche snapped a photo of the sunken ice machine when he stopped by Lakeside Village for a pickup game of hockey. His wife planned to do some skating.
Waesche said that the "thin ice" sign in the foreground of the photo was some distance away from where the Zamboni went in.
The lake is typically open from Dec. 18 to March. 28 depending on the weather, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
