I love the idea of the annual outdoor NHL hockey game. I loved it when the first Heritage Classic was played!

However, look how far these fans are from the action on the ice. At a Phillies baseball game, these would be great seats. At an outdoor hockey game, however, they're horrible seats. And just imagine the hefty price these fans paid for their premium seats. Yikes.

"Above all things, keep peace within yourself, then you will be able to create peace among others. It is better to be peaceful than learned. The passionate person often thinks evil of a good person and easily believes the worst; a good and peaceful person turns all things to good. One who lives at peace suspects no one. But one who is tense and agitated by evil is troubled with all kinds of suspicions; such a person is never at peace within, nor does such a one permit others to be at peace. Such a person often speaks when one should be silent, and fails to say what would be truly useful. Such people are well aware of the obligations of others but neglect their own. So be zealous first of all with yourself, and then you will be more justified in expressing zeal for your neighbor. You are good at excusing and justifying your own deeds, and yet you will not listen to the excuses of others. It would be more just to accuse yourself and excuse your neighbor." - Thomas a Kempis
