NHL Winter Classic 2010: Bruins vs. Flyers at Fenway Park
Tim Panaccio of Comcast SportsNet and The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that the 2010 Winter Classic outdoor game on New Year’s Day will feature the Flyers and Bruins at Fenway Park. According to Tim, the NHL was ready to go with Bruins vs. Capitals until NBC indicated that it wanted the Flyers due to their superior television ratings. Supposedly this will be announced on July 15. There may also be a secondary game featuring Canadian teams, possibly Calgary and Toronto.
Trade Rumors: The four team deal that was supposedly close looks like it has fallen through, although part of it may still happen. Other latest rumors have the Flyers interested in Calgary defenseman Dion Phaneuf, possibly for Scott Hartnell among others (players, picks).

I’d like to know where and who told you about Phaneuf?

Don’t remember where I saw that one mentioned. As with most rumors, one is never too sure about their validity. This one sounded plausible – I think Phaneuf would’ve been a great addition. But it’s dead now that Pronger has been acquired.
