Not sure this has already been posted, but are they turning Fenway Park into an ice rink for a Bruins game?

Bit risky isn't it, as the weather generally isn't great up there at that time of the year is it.

The game is the Winter Classic which the NHL have been doing once every year since 2008 Sabres V Pittsburgh at Ralph Williams Stadium NY, 2009 Blackhawks V Redwings at Wrigley Field Chicago.

The predecessor to the Winter Classic games was the Heritage Classic which took place in Edmonton and was the Oilers V Montreal

Hawks blank to Bolts 4-0 with Antti Niemi getting himself his 3rd shut out of the season from only 8 starts!!!

Marian Hossa scoring a great goal gloving down a high puck and rifling it in on the volley before the puck hit the ice taking him to a return of 9pts from 9 games since his Hawks debut after injury.

The Hawks blank a team for the second game running giving St Louis the Blues with 3-0 win. Huet getting the second shut out out for the Hawks in as many games after Niemi blanked the Bolts.

Hawks beat the Wings 3-0 with Huet getting his second consecutive shut out turning away 20 shots. Good win for the Hawks even if the Wings are suffering with injuries, always good to beat them no matter.

The Hawks fans have chanted 'Detroit sucks' at games for years and for the first time in a long time they actually do suck this season.Partly due to injuries but having 2 average at best n/m's doesn't help.

Sharks rob the Hawks to take the lead in the Eastern Conference. Naborkov has the game of his life in stopping the Hawks turning away 45 shots on the Sharks net in a game the Hawks outshot the Sharks 47 to 14. Huet playing after to consectutive shut outs had a fairly weak night between the pipes.

The Blackhawks move to the top of the Conference standings and the League standards as they beat the Predators 4-1 & 5-4 in home and home games taking a clean sweep of the Predators 4-0 and moving 8pts ahead of them in the Division.

Its been long time since the Hawks have led the conference let alone the league, lets hope it continues and Quenneville can end the wait for Lord Stanley this season, still a long way to go yet but good to see the Hawks improving every year.
