Penguins, Sabres will reportedly face off on Jan. 1
ESPN.com news services
There is apparently going to be another "Ice Bowl", NHL style.
According to a report from The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres will play an outdoor game on Jan. 1, 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
The game will reportedly air nationally on NBC, but neither the network nor the NHL would confirm the report.
"If and when we have something to announce we will make sure the announcement gets heard," NHL spokesperson Frank Brown told the newspaper.
ESPN The Magazine's E.J. Hradek originally reported in early June on the NHL's plans for another outdoor game.
In 2003, the league took the game outdoors for the highly successful "Heritage Classic" in Edmonton. A crowd of nearly 60,000 braved sub-zero temperatures at Commonwealth Stadium to see the Oilers skate against the Canadiens.
That game was preceded by a legends tilt, featuring stars such as Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Guy Lafleur. Messier, who at the time was an active member of the New York Rangers, received permission to participate in the special event.

Didn't you know? With global warming, South Texas will soon have the same climate that Winnepeg enjoys now! But if everyone eliminates all their greenhouse gases (no passing gas for you BUG), according to the "green crowd" we'll be able to roll back the clock & make the Earth the pristine place it was before all these people started screwing everything up. It will be just like it was 15,000 years ago, meaning South Texas will have the same climate that Winnepeg currently enjoys now...
Never say "Never"!

Unfortunately, not an honor I can claim, but I do love the place!

True, but they're mostly a bunch a damned socialist pinko hippies from New England or California. Those people can go hang for all I care about what they think. Oh wait, they don't think, they mostly knee-jerk whatever the current p.c. line happens to be.
 pc!
