2010 NHL Winter Classic
Encyclopedia
The 2010 NHL Winter Classic, known as the 2010 NHL Winter Classic presented by Bridgestone
via corporate sponsorship, was the third edition of the NHL Winter Classic
, an annual outdoor ice hockey
game held by the National Hockey League
(NHL), played on January 1, 2010, as a regular season game at Fenway Park
in Boston, Massachusetts, between the Boston Bruins (the home team) and the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Bruins won the game 2–1 in overtime
. With the victory, the Bruins became the first home team to win a Winter Classic. After the game, the roster of the United States men's hockey team for the 2010 Winter Olympics
was released, which included Bruins' goaltender
Tim Thomas
.
The New York Rangers
had previously also been considered as an opponent for the Bruins. The game was telecast on NBC in the United States; in Canada, CBC
televised the game in English, and RDS held the French language rights, while ESPN America televised the contest in Europe. Radio rights nationally were held by Sirius XM Radio, while WBZ-FM
in Boston and WIP
in Philadelphia used their local announcers. Additionally, there was pre-and-post game coverage on the NHL Network in the USA and Canada.
Since there was no NHL All-Star Game
in the 2009–10 season
due to the 2010 Winter Olympics
, which were held in Vancouver, British Columbia, in February, the Winter Classic served as the league's biggest showcase game of the season. The NHL was in negotiations with the Calgary Flames
to host a second outdoor game on New Years Day at McMahon Stadium
, likely against another Canadian opponent. However, that did not take place as announced in the season schedule, which was released on July 15, the same day that the game site and teams were announced.

shoved Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell
from his front. Over the course of the game, especially toward the end of each period, the ice became noticeably choppy, resulting in several odd man rushes. After Kimmo Timonen
took a tripping penalty on Zdeno Chara
, the Bruins tied the game on the powerplay with Mark Recchi
tipping in a Derek Morris slap-pass with 2:18 left in the game. During overtime, Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas made a flurry of huge saves to keep the Bruins in the game, including stopping an 2 on 1 against Danny Briere and Mike Richards
. On the Bruins' following counter-attack up the ice, Marco Sturm
tipped a Patrice Bergeron
pass past Flyers goaltender Michael Leighton
to win the game.
