So you can't go to the Winter Classic but want to feel like you did?
I am going to try my best to give you the feeling that you are not only attending the big game, but covering it from the inside as well. Practices, press conferences, a tour of Fenway, chats with players, other writers, and general Boston fun. I will tape whenever I think it may be interesting (and the NHL allows taping).
I hope you enjoy this video diary. If you do, please let me know and I will shoot more video..
The first video in this Blog is the window that can suddenly go live at any time. If it isn't live it will be the latest video of the trip documented below.
