According to Bruins writer Shawn Hutcheon, it will be announced shortly after the All-Star game.



If it happens, I'm gonna lift my "I'm never setting foot in Boston" vow.

Meh as far as Im concerned I think the league just spawns these games exclusively in the States for publicity. This should have occurred in Montreal.

Where?

 

[Alexdaman]

Where?

They could easily extend temporary seating at Percival Molson to 30 000 or more.

 

[PhysicX]

Where?

Exactly my reaction. If this is indeed true, it's going to be one awesome game to watch.

Really? You want to be around 60,000 Bruins fans with snow easily accessible? Good luck.

While the Gillette Stadium can fit close to 70,000 fans.

I'd take snow any day over the alternative!

 

[Hullois]

I like this

 

[Le Tricolore]

Cool, I guess.

So, is this going to be 1 of 4 again ?

No one cares about the winter "classic" anymore.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Finally a real rivalry.

Hawks-Caps... Kings-Flyers... GTFO with that ****.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Winter Classic is st00pid but at least they picked the right matchup.

Also you might want to step foot in Boston sometime, I hate the Bruins but it's a pretty sick city. I almost went to college there

 

[Adriatic]

I really find hockey games played in oversized outdoor stadiums so boring. I get they want the hype and everything but man I find it painful to watch these games.

 

[Habsawce]

It's too bad pathetic Rogers couldn't have just allowed HBO to continue with 24/7, instead of this censored crap they are producing. Because, really the only thing anyone cares about concerning the Winter Classic was HBO.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll bring it back, doubt it though.

I love the city, reminds me a lot of Montreal

Planning a trip in October, wife wants to go to a Pats game so

Glad they finally picked a good matchup!

Boston is a fantastic city with great people. Most of the neanderthals come from the suburbs and more rural parts of New England. There's a reason the arena is right outside the northern part of the city. It's not just for convenience.

If you go there, make sure you go to Chinatown for lunch or dinner. The chinese-style lobster is incredible and we were able to eat seafood with our two kids for about $40 before tip. Insane value.

 

[Alexdaman]

I gotta say though I never had issues with Boston as city or Massachusetts as a state.

I also share the opinions of this.

This would be cool. I wonder what uniform the habs would elect to wear... hopefully an authentic throwback and not some ugly new design.

 

[ashtraygirl]

I've heard nothing but good things about Boston. I suppose it's a lot like Montreal in terms of the large student population.

And cheap seafood is never a bad thing!

I'm guessing something manly like... barber pole with tuque!

EDIT: Tricolore beat me to it!

They have those 10-15 idiots that go to a hockey game, problem is we aren't any better when it comes to that. Plenty of morons at the Bell Centre

the infamous barber pole jerseys

I was always a real big fan of the 1915-16 uniforms
