As much fun as it is to simply watch the Flyers play in an outdoor game, they need to leave Heinz Field with a win.
Whether you’re talking about the Winter Classic or the Stadium Series, outdoor games really are amazing. Fans love them, players love them. Regardless of the score, they are incredible experiences.
In 2010, we got to see overtime hockey in the shadow of the Green Monster at Fenway Park. And in 2012, with the Flyers down by a goal with 20 seconds left, Danny Briere—Mr. Clutch himself—took a penalty shot against Henrik Lundqvist under the lights of Citizens Bank Park.
