Winter Walkoff: Bruins Have Classic Comeback At Fenway 3
The Winter Classic lived up to all the hype and then some. It truly was a spectacle and made hockey relevant in this country again. It was a needed shot in the arm for a sport that has been taking up the rear behind baseball, football, and basketball for years.
Personally, I was very excited just to WATCH this game. I watched the Winter Classics in Chicago and snowy Buffalo, but now it was in my backyard at Fenway Park.
I was down at Mohegan Sun and MGM at Foxwoods for New Years. My whole departure was planned around this game.
One of the cashiers at the MGM said to me after seeing my Bruins cap, “I hope you make it home before the game.”
Me too, but those one armed bandits put their magical spell even over the most die hard Bruins fan.
My girlfriend said, “It’s 11:30am.” I told her to give my version of the two hour warning, but I didn’t listen.
I was going to miss some of the game!
