2008 NHL Winter Classic (by steelopus)

I’m not convinced the Winter Classic will ever match the excitement, intensity, or thrill of the original edition.

I was there and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.

Today is a great day for Rochester, as the Sabres and the Amerks, after a three-year separation, have been reunited!

If Terry Pegula keeps up his great work, he’ll be getting a lot of write-in votes in western NY during the 2012 presidential election.
