    I think its favorited towards canadians since thats where majority of views come from. Canadians grow up playing outdoor hockey and relate to it.

    That's what I told you. Why are you complaining about getting sports on over the air TV?

    Not strange. Caps/Pens typically open at 6, because they're high scoring. They didn't adjust for the location nearly enough.

    Caps/Pens is not your typical hockey matchup, so it doesn't have a typical total. Are you going to say Caps/Tampa Bay should also open at 5.5?

    So do Americans.
    Don't get me wrong I think the winter classic is an over produced bunch of crap. But if you didn't play pond hockey as a kid you seriously missed out on a childhood.

    Mikhail,
    You're probably a good guy, but how the heck can you say the ice was full of puddles and was a mess, but yet you called it a great game.

    The game was as slow as shit. The game was basically a horrible game.
