COLUMBUS, Ohio - Two years after the massive success at Michigan Stadium, the Montreal Canadiens will become the second Canadian NHL team to take part in a Winter Classic. Yankees Giancarlo Stanton Jersey .The Canadiens will visit the Boston Bruins at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on New Years Day 2016, taking hockeys oldest rivalry outside.It was special in 2010 just to be there with the history behind Fenway Park and all that, Bruins centre Patrice Bergeron said. But playing Montreal outside at Foxborough, well see if it beats it, but its definitely going to be something great.The Toronto Maple Leafs were the first Canadian team to crack the Winter Classic. The success of the 2014 game at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor between the Leafs and Detroit Red Wings, especially in U.S. TV ratings, helped set the stage for the Habs involvement.This is the Bruins second Winter Classic after hosting the Philadelphia Flyers at Fenway in 2010. Boston is the first market to host multiple Winter Classic events, though Chicago has had one of those and a Stadium Series game.We know its a great sports town, its a great hockey town, commissioner Gary Bettman said. The Bruins have a wonderful organization. And the opportunity to go back with this rivalry and play in a large stadium like Gillette, we think its going to be a spectacular day.Gillette Stadium, home of the NFLs New England Patriots, seats 68,756. A sellout wouldnt rival the Big House at Michigan, but it would be a step up from baseball stadiums that have hosted the game previously.On Saturday, Bettman also announced two Stadium Series games for next season: the Minnesota Wild hosting the Chicago Blackhawks at TCF Bank Field in Minneapolis on Feb. 21 and the Colorado Avalanche hosting the Red Wings at Coors Field in Denver on Feb. 27.Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher is looking forward to showcasing the State of Hockey at the University of Minnesotas football stadium.Our owner, Craig Leopold, has been adamantly pursuing this game and (is) very passionate about it, Fletcher said. I think down the road wed even like to get a Winter Classic as our team continues to improve and we make strides. To land a Stadium Series game is a great accomplishment and its going to be a lot of fun.The Blackhawks will be appearing in their league-high fourth outdoor game. They were most recently visitors against the Washington Capitals in the 2015 Winter Classic.I dont think it gets old at all, Chicago winger Patrick Kane said. We kind of view ourselves and pride ourselves on being one of the faces of the league, as far as team-wise.The Winnipeg Jets were supposed to host the Heritage Classic, but the NHL and CFLs Blue Bombers were unable to agree on a date to have the game at Investors Group Field. The league preferred December, but the Blue Bombers wanted it to be later in winter so as not to conflict with the Grey Cup.It was the window we had been talking about both with the (Jets) and with the Bombers for a long time, like two years, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said Friday. It was kind of a last-minute pivot by them with respect to no, we dont want to have it so close to the Grey Cup.Bettman said he was hopeful the league could schedule something for the 2016-17 season.Toronto will reportedly host the 2017 Winter Classic and maybe even the all-star game, too, to celebrate the Leafs 100-year anniversary. Bettman said the league wanted to honour that milestone and the NHLs 100th anniversary appropriately and was in discussions with the Leafs about future plans.Bettman also said the Senators have expressed interest in hosting an outdoor game in Ottawa. TD Place, home of the Redblacks, has a capacity of just 24,000, which is the same issue with Montreals Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.The problem is the stadium situation, Bettman said of Montreal. Unless that changes dramatically or we figure out a way to pop up a stadium that would work, theres an indoor stadium and I think the football stadium only seats about 20,000 people, so its not the same experience.The 2016 Winter Classic will be the Canadiens third outdoor game after visiting the Edmonton Oilers in the 2003 Heritage Classic and the Calgary Flames in the 2011 Heritage Classic.During his state of the league address, Bettman also announced that Sportvision would be tracking player and puck movement at Saturday nights skills competition and Sunday afternoons all-star game. There will be chips in jerseys and pucks to track speed and other things.The NHL and NHLPA have discussed the possibility of doing that in the future but have not come to an agreement. This is an experiment, though Bettman said they were in the embryonic stage of discussions.On the value of the Canadian dollar and its impact on next years salary cap, Bettman said it wont cause too much of a decline from the early projection of US$73 million. An 80-cent dollar would see the cap drop to $71.7 million.I assure you, even with the decline in the Canadian dollar, the salary cap does not fall off a cliff, Bettman said. No one can project where its going but the point Im making is, you are not going to see a dramatic difference.The board of governors met Saturday morning in downtown Columbus, and the group was briefed on expansion, among other things. Bettman had little update on the impending season-ticket drive in Las Vegas but confirmed he met with the mayor of Seattle.Las Vegas is considered the front-runner for NHL expansion, with arena issues holding Seattle back. Quebec City has an arena under construction, but unbalanced conferences mean the league is looking to expand West before East, Daly said.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Yankees Chance Adams Jersey .

And now they have seen it for themselves.EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. – Darryl Sutter was at his sarcastic best on Sunday. "Yeah, Im not rattled," the Los Angeles Kings head coach said when asked about overcoming the Game 4 loss to Anaheim. "Im just thankful Im alive today. Im fortunate to pull through after the devastating loss last night." Sutter joked that he almost didnt make it to his daily media interrogation. "They had to get me up – Radar and Hawkeye had to get me up to come here today," said Sutter, referencing characters from the television show M*A*S*H. The point was clear: this is a veteran coach with a veteran team that isnt about to be fazed by losing two straight or by facing a hotshot young goalie. The Kings lost 20 games during the regular season when outshooting an opponent. Only the New York Rangers (22) and Calgary Flames (21) were ahead of them in that category. So what happened on Saturday night, when they outshot the Ducks 28-14 overall and 19-3 over the last two periods, but still came out on the short end of the scoreboard, is old hat and thus not worth losing too much sleep over. "Pretty nice out here today," said forward Jarret Stoll. "Sun came out. Its Mothers Day and my moms here so itll be a good off day." Meanwhile, about 30 miles down the road in Anaheim, John Gibson had already been named the Ducks starter for Game 5. Only hours earlier he had become the youngest goalie in NHL history to post a shutout in his playoff debut. It was only his fourth career NHL game. Hes stopped 111 of the 115 shots faced in those games (.965 save percentage). It has been a remarkable start to the 20-year-olds career. "I know hes calm and cool or whatever, but its our job to make his job a lot harder," said Kings forward Mike Richards. "Its a lot of pressure to put on a young kid [playing him in this series] and you can say it all you want, Hes calm, cool, but if we start getting bodies in front we dont know how hes going to react." Los Angeles had 25 shots blocked on Saturday and missed on 18 other attempts. "Most of the goalies in the league are pretty much the same," said defenceman Drew Doughty. "We have a little sheet that we [get] before the game and its pretty much the same things: whether he handles the puck well, hes usually not good in traffic like any goalie, not good with screens, tips, so thats exactly what we have to do. We have to get the ssecond opportunities and put them in. Yankees Lou Gehrig Jersey. We just got to bear down and get more goals. "It shouldnt matter whos in net." Thats basically the exact same message players on the Ducks were telling anyone who would listen after they dropped the first two games at home despite outshooting the Kings and controlling the lions share of possession. Now the shoe is very much on the other foot. "The playoffs, really, is about scoring big goals and we were doing that early in the series and winning games that way and theyre doing that now," Doughty said. "We want to have possession of the puck and take control of the game like we did in the last two periods last night, but we got to score big goals." Considering the Kings track record and championship pedigree they are far from flustered. After staring into the abyss of an 0-3 deficit in the last round against the San Jose Sharks they arent about to let a rookie goalie get in their heads. So there was no cram session on Sunday featuring video of Gibson. After all, Gibson isnt the issue. "I dont think weve played poorly," said Richards, "but we just havent gotten to that desperation level that we had in San Jose where youre just fighting for every inch on the ice, and I think thats that mentality that we have to get back to." The Kings will get a chance to up their intensity level on Monday night at the Honda Center when the series resumes. But Sunday was all about mothers. And Sutter had already placed a call to his mom before meeting with the media. "Yeah, I did," he acknowledged. "But she was in church. I shouldve known to call later. Thats the last thing I told the players. Make sure they talk to their moms or a mother in their life today." Stoll wont have to make a call. His mom, Sherri, is in town and he planned on spending the day with her. "She loved the cowbell," said Stoll, a Saskatchewan native, when asked about his favourite hockey-mom memory. "We had a group of parents who were the loudest group of parents who followed their sons around and my mom had the big cowbell that shed hammer on and Im sure it was pretty annoying for some people and you look up in the stands and Im like, Thats my mom." As for Sutter, he was asked if had any special plans for Mothers Day. "Oh no," he said sarcastically.
