2016 Winter Classic Between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins

The NHL confirmed the 2016 Winter Classic will be held at Gilette Stadium ( home of the New England patriots). This Match up is a rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins, an original 6 match up. This Winter Classic will represent the old 1990's match up. The Canadiens and the Bruins wer'e always a big match up in the National Hockey League. The Teams have met in the playoffs 34 times and the Montreal Canadiens have won 25 of the series. This rivalry is one of the biggest in professional sports and sports fans, the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry, Jets–Patriots rivalry and Celtics–Lakers rivalry. The first ever NHL out door hockey game was played back in 2003 as the Edmonton Oilers faced the montreal Canadiens in an outdoor brawl. The weather was -45 in edmonton and it was very cold. The Canadiens have yet to play in a winter classic but they have played in a couple heritage classics (other game against the Calgary Flames) The game ended in a 3-1 win to the flames over the Canadiens. I think it was a great idea to put the Boston Bruins up against the Montreal Canadiens because it brought tramendist hype to the game. it is a big opportunitie to reunite the 2 teams in a game that will bring joy to the fans. This years winter classic was the Washington capitals against the chicago black hawks what i thought wasnt a very interestting match up for the outdoor games but last year was a oringinal 6 match up as the maple leafs faced the detroit red wings in michigan
