So anyone besides me going to watch history tonight. The
NHL will play it's first outdoor hockey game ever tonight in Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium in front of over 55,000 fans. The largest crowd to ever watch an NHL game. The temperature is expected to be around 7 degrees F (or -14 C). The Oilers are taking on the Canadiens in this first for the NHL and they hope to make it an annual event between several teams each year. Obviously there won't be any such games in Florida or Phoenix.
