Beyond the novelty of yet another outdoor game, there are a few legitimate excuses for Panthers Faithful to catch at least a portion of tonight’s NHL Heritage Classic (6pm – Versus, CBC, RDS) from McMahon Stadium: a suddenly red-hot Olli Jokinen (4g-7a in last six games), an equally un-hot Jay Bouwmeester (1 point – an assist – since January 19th), and the opportunity to watch Montreal (1-3-2 over past six) take it on the chin once more after flatlining in Edmonton. Ole!
Take a moment to check out our co-conspirators at Matchsticks & Gasoline and Habs Eyes On The Prize for a bit of local flavor. Nothing fancy this evening; showers optional as always.
