So, it’s been snowing in Chicago. And snowing quite a bit, as the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins do battle at Soldier Field in Saturday’s Stadium Series game.
Below is a video clip of just how big an impact the snow has had in the first period of tonight’s game, with Brent Seabrook having to battle the elements while trying to play the puck up ice.

Valiant effort by the ice crew here but snow's falling too fast for it to really help. #Blackhawks #StadiumSeries

Don't really understand the mass appeal of outdoors hockey games, but assume it has nothing to do with the exceptional quality of play.
