Outdoor Hockey Anyone

WGR 550 has reported that the Buffalo Sabres are one of the two lead candidates, along with Detroit, to host an outdoor hockey game on January 1, 2008 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. If the Party in the Plaza was exciting, imagine 70,000 fans screaming for the Sabres at Ralph Wilson stadium. This is a game that no matter what the cost, fans should be at because it may be a one time only event. With the new HD Jumbotron there, it should be a great occasion. Lets just not hope that global warning has impacted Buffalo too much at the time, as I would rather not have the players skating through water, with fans in shorts and t-shirts. I know that when Edmonton played their outdoor game, the temperature was below zero. I guess that the game would be especially interesting with that. Even better would be a snowstorm to start while the game is being played. I'm really hoping for it to happen. It could be a very good thing for the NHL.
