Heritage Classic update

[dash]

It's a balmy -22 degrees Celsius in Calgary this morning (that's around -8 on the Fahrenheit scale). The good news is that a chinook is coming in for the weekend and the forecast for game time is calling for temps around 0 Celsius (32 Fahrenheit).

Is too cold bad for the ice? Sorry, I am ignorant to your negative temps. We are enjoyng this beautiful 70 degree day in Philly.

Could they call a hockey game for being too cold?

Could they call a hockey game for being too cold?

if they didnt cancel the original heritage classic between habs and oilers with the temperatures they had they wont cancel the game sunday. as dash said its supposed to be 0 celsius (with glorious sun, I'll add)

they did however cancel the media scrimmage game today because of the cold

actually because the NHL was worried one of the fat tubs of goo in the media would have a heart attack in the minus 22 condition and the result would be a pr nightmare
