Happy New Year - the Bowl Alternative

Happy New Year! A friendly reminder not to miss my new favorite Escape on New Year's Day, the NHL's Winter Classic at 1 p.m. ET on NBC. Our beloved Detroit Red Wings won a thriller over the Chicago Blackhawks at Wrigley Field a few years ago. Today the Penguins and Capitals take their rivalry to a perfectly smooth outdoor "pond" at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Sorry BCS alphabet soup of Bowl games, this Hockeytown couch potato is all over the hockey classic in Steel City. Enjoy.
