NHL Winter Classic

Today feels like Sunday, even though it’s a Tuesday. After attending a New Year’s Eve party last night given by one of our neighbors (best part: we didn’t have to drive anyplace), we woke up late this morning (well, woke up early, fed/took out the dogs, then went back to sleep), and spent part of the day watching the NHL Winter Classic between the Buffalo Sabres and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Really fun game to watch, even though they had to clean/repair the ice a lot, but I guess that’s what happens when you put a hockey rink on top of a football field.
The game was perfect too since it was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, nobody scored in overtime, and Sidney Crosby scored the winning goal during the shootout. For a game like this, it was cool it was so evenly matched honestly, because a blowout wouldn’t have been much fun.
