First off, let me say that the Winter Classic could, in true Gary Bettman fashion, have been turned into a hokey, sanitized gimmick designed to score ratings for the league and NBC. And while some of that may be true, the past two games have been really good. This one was no exception. 40,000 people in Fenway, Bobby Orr and Bobby Clarke out on the ice together, and two teams who really needed the two points in the standings. I have to say, the NHL got this one right. Now, on to the game itself. I can see now why Jeff Carter was left off the Canadian Olympic team
