"Yes, it's something we're going to look at for next season," Bettman said as the NHL's Board of Governors meeting wrapped up. "We'll see if we can make it happen." This season's Winter Classic is Jan. 1 at Fenway Park in Boston between the Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers. What's not clear at this point is what day the second outdoor game would be held next season. "There's been a lot of speculation," Bettman said. "And again, not all of this has been resolved. But I'm just laying it out. Do you do two games on New Year's Day, or do you do one on New Year's Day and one on [CBC's] 'Hockey Day In Canada?' " "Hockey Day In Canada" on CBC features all six Canadian teams in a tripleheader, usually in February. A league source told ESPN.com that this is the leading option for the second outdoor game and that Calgary was the leading candidate to host it. Full article. Question for the hockey people: is this a legitimate addition to the NHL season, or is this a case of "if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing"?
