WKBW in Buffalo is reporting plans have been finalized for an outdoor game between the Sabres and the Pens on New Years Day. They say an announcement from the league will be released in September.
We'll wait til we get word from the league before we start calling our friends in Buffalo to find couches to sleep on. Those following these rumors (again, we're waiting for it to come down from the NHL) know that this idea was originally planned for a January 1 game, then reported to be moved to February. Personally, we think it would make way more sense to play this game in February. Not as much football to compete with for TV viewers and it's usually a few degrees colder. Regardless of when it takes place, this is going to be an amazing game. Expect a huge fan turnout from not only Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but hockey fans from the surrounding states and Canadian provinces.
