As NHL fans prepare for the 2016 Winter Classic between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens, it seems like a good day to reflect back on the 2008 Winter Classic featuring the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins.
It’s hard to believe that was nearly eight years ago — but here we are. I’m going to share my memories of the experience/game, and I’d love to hear yours in the comments – whether you watched it live, on TV or in any other way. What’s your favorite memory about that fateful day?
Sure, the Buffalo Sabres lost, but that was pretty much the only part of that day that wasn’t great.
