The Winter Classic was awesome (except for the final score, of course).
The excitement surrounding the game was so huge you could feel it on TV. Either that or I was excited enough that I felt that the city was that excited too.
I found it mildly amusing that the NHL Network was talking to Jonathan Toews and they thought that it was Sharpie. They even had Sharpie's stats up and everything. I was in the kitchen listening to the TV, not watching and I heard the commentator say Patrick and then the Blackhawk started to answer the question and I immediately said "Wait that's not Sharpie or Kaner that's Tazer." I thought it was funny when a few minutes later the same guy interviewed both Sharpie and Tazer.
I thought it was amazing that a game like that could make a few non-hockey fans scream as loudly as me while watching the game.
I was glad that the ice conditions were so good. I think it helped the game to go more smoothly.
During play, the first period was awesome, the second and third not so much.
ETA: We were all really tired the morning of New Year's Day because some insane person (that would be your delightful blogger) decided to get up after 3 hours of sleep. My cousin found an old stuffed penguin downstairs and dressed him up in the Blackhawks gear I had brought for my cousins and I took pictures.
