What We Learned: Boston’s Winter Classic will be interesting – Puck Daddy – NHL – Yahoo! Sports

Bruins reporter for WEEI.com and all-around swell guy, this morning:

“Heard today that Bruins and Flyers are going to have to share same Red Sox home clubhouse between two teams during the Winter Classic. Yikes”

Yikes indeed. Granted, Fenway is the oldest park in baseball, and the unfortunate accommodations are, most likely, because the park is the oldest in baseball and as such has an objectively terrible set-up. I’ve been in the Red Sox clubhouse and it’s barely big enough to hold the Red Sox’ 25-man roster on a given night, and even then with limited comfort.

Now imagine 40 hockey players squeezed into it like sardines. And factor in that, because of that whole Patrice Bergeron(notes)/Randy Jones incident (two players, I should note, that are still with these respective teams), these teams seem to really not like each other at all, how cozy that Red Sox clubhouse is going to feel. Good work, NHL.
