NHL commissioner Gary Bettman dubbed it the "worst kept secret," while confirming Wednesday afternoon that the Boston Bruins will meet the Philadelphia Flyers in this year's Winter Classic at Fenway Park on Jan. 1, 2010.
The Bruins had a hefty showing at the announcement, including Jeremy Jacobs, Peter Chiarelli, Cam Neely, Aaron Ward, Marco Sturm, Patrice Bergeron and Harry Sinden. Yes, even Harry came up from Florida for a visit. The picture below shows where the ice surface will be placed for the game. 
The Boston College Eagles and Boston University Terriers are also rumored to be playing in an outdoor game a week or so after the New Year's day tilt. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, I gave you the Matt Hunwick situation and now it's on to Phil Kessel. Peter Chiarelli sat down for an interview with Kathryn Tappen tonight on Sports Desk and very firmly said that Phil Kessel will be back with Boston this season.
Now, General Manager's say this all the time and then something different happens, but the list of suitors for Kessel seems to be dwindling.
The deal may not be done until late July because of Hunwick's arbitration hearing being on July 24. The Bruins will want to see how much money they are left with after the Hunwick hearing.
The beat rolls on here in Bruins nation.
