It's Official - Rangers vs Flyers in 2012 NHL Winter Classic

In what is perhaps the worst kept secret in recent NHL history, the official release of the NHL schedule today revealed what everybody already knew -- the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers will participate in the NHL Winter Classic on January 2, 2012 at Citizens Bank Park.

Flyers fans may wonder why this game isn't played at the larger Lincoln Financial Field, that is due to the Eagles having a game on January 1st which would conflict with setting up the hockey rink.

Rangers fans may ask why is this game not at Yankee Stadium as has so often been rumored as a future home of a Winter Classic, that is due to the fact that NCAA Football's Pinstripe Bowl is scheduled for that week at Yankee Stadium and would prevent the NHL from setting up shop in the Bronx.

Regardless of the location, fans are going to want to see this game and they are going to want to see it bad!

2012 Winter Classic Looks like NYR vs Philly!

Reports have been circulating over the past month or so that the 2012 NHL Winter Classic will be held at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park and feature a major matchup between the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers. I think it is safe to say this will be the most physical Winter Classic ever!

Not only do these two teams dislike each other, they are both currently well-stocked with physical players. Even the talented guys on the teams are big hitters like Philly's Mike Richards and the Rangers' Ryan Callahan & Brandon Dubinsky. This is going to be one hard hitting display of old time hockey!

Fans are anxiously awaiting the announcement of the 2011-2012 NHL schedule for confirmation that the game will be played on January 2, 2012. This is a slight change from the typical New Year's Day Winter Classic due to the fact the Philadelphia Eagles have a home game on January 1st and logistically having two big events at the same time would cause a traffic fiasco in that section of Philadelphia. If you've ever been there, you know what I'm talking about.
