Thumbs up to the NHLs Winter Classic, the 2015 edition, that is. Im not the biggest fan of this event - and Im being as diplomatic as Chicago coach Joel Quenneville reacting to the Jonathan Toews penalty when I say that - but this game between the Blackhawks and the Washington Capitals was better than all the rest, because you didnt have to be there to enjoy it. The puck bounced a lot as the game got longer, but otherwise, the Caps and the Hawks produced the sort of entertainment you look for in an NHL game. The weather wasnt the story, and the weather didnt affect the game. There has never been any doubt about the Winter Classics popularity with fans in the stands wearing parkas, but in past years, the puck has dropped and the level of interest among TV watchers (at least for this one, anyway) has gone down accordingly. Its great when the NHL can fill a baseball stadium, and the weather is nice and (not too) sunny, and the game is a game and not just a novelty. -- Thumbs down to those who would accuse the Edmonton Oilers of tanking by using the David Perron trade as some sort of proof. This is not to suggest that Edmonton, and other teams near the bottom of the standings, do not have their eyes on the draft lottery and would not make moves that reflect their desire to finish 30th, but the Perron trade should not be analyzed with that in mind. This was a move that the Oilers had to make for all the right reasons, reasons that have nothing to do with trying to lose. Never mind what effect the loss of Perron will have on the Oilers - and forget what he might do in Pittsburgh - Edmonton is better off with a first-round draft pick than with a struggling winger who wasnt producing. As for any tanking strategy that might be employed by bottom-feeding teams, it wont be evident until the very end of the season, and it will appear in the form of convenient injuries and suspicious scratches that give lineup sheets a minor-league look, not at or before the trade deadline in otherwise sensible deals.
