SM-liiga almost had the Sports Academy winterklassikkoburger called off due to the weather not being cold enough for outdoor icehockey. It was only about -16 degrees on Friday in Helsinki, and the sudden heatwave in addition to the threat of the game being cancelled had everyone in southern Finland going nuts all day with people crashing their cars all over the place like a bunch of blind fuckers.
Thank god it seems as if winter is finally back after the long 24 hour wait and at least our home thermometre is now back at -23 degrees. With a little help from the wind that just might be cold enough to equal and feel like -50 degrees, which should be enough to have the melted ice in the rink refrozen before it´s time to drop the puck.
If it gets any colder, we might have over 30 000 people freeze to death by the end of the hockey game. That would be the biggest tragedy in sports history and something for the NHL to try and beat in their own klassikkoburgers.
