Winter Classic Observations

First Period

• The Camera angles are fucking awful, who is producing? Ray Charles?
  
• The penalty in Crosby was not a penalty shot. He never had clear possession of the puck.
  
• First real Winter Classic fight, and it was a pretty damn good one.
  
• Varlamov's mask looked bad ass.
  
• Like the rest of his taste in equipment, Fleury's is pitifully ugly.
  
  
• Pierre McGuire is still the biggest douche in the NHL, and makes me want to vomit up my inner organs and jam rusty screwdrivers in my ears.
  

Second Period

• Ovie needs to just shoot on that breakaway
  
• Great save on one end turns into a goal on the other.
  
• Fleury got completely raped on that Caps goal. Nothing like being speared in the crotch with random sticks
  
• John Carlson is a little..."lacking" on D.
  
• Tyler Kennedy has been beaten about the face with an ugly stick. He looks like a pug.
  
• Nice wraparound Chimera. Excellent fancypants screw up.
  
• Fluery stickhandles like an old woman. You're no Marty Turco with the puck, dude, but then again Turco has been no Fleury in every other way.
  
• Holy shit that shootout between Bettis and Harris was embarrassing. I'd rather watch little kids do it. Those two goofballs don't give a shit.
  

Third Period Period

• Hockey Day in America from Millennium Park in Chicago? Interesting.
  
• Camera angles. FUCKING TERRIBLE!!!!!!
  
• Beautiful give-n-go with Fehr and Chimera.
  
• After watching that 24/7 thing on HBO, I anoint Fehr's wife SMOKING HOT!
  
• Hey Ovie, you can't makeout with the goalie. I know he's all french and romantic but FAIL!
