Vacation Rumour Update....

Heading to Tampa tonight to watch the Lightning and the Habs...should be fun!

Start here this morning as I continue to chase down the Jay Bo rumours...as well as a possible Shanahan signing....

+++++++

If you recall, last year I was the first to break that we would be seeing Chicago/Detroit this year (I was told Soldier Field, but who's counting?)

Well from that same league source I am hearing that next year's Winter Classic is down to two possibilities..both of whom include the Bruins.

#1 The NY Rangers and the Bruins in NY...(not sure if it will be Citi, Yankee Stadium or Giant's Stadium.

#2 Toronto or Montreal at Boston..likely in Fenway.

Beyond that....

There has also been talk of the Flyers and Penguins at Penn State or Flyers/Capitals in Philly....but I am told that there is a higher likelihood of that game on 1-1-12.

As for two years from now, source also tells me that a there is a possibility of a "Winter Classic Doubleheader on 1-1-11 saying, "There is talk of a Battle of Alberta Winter Classic followed by the Kings and Avalanche at "Mile High Stadium."
