owner of the heritage classic

i am now the owner of the heritage classic outdoor game between edmonton and montreal. at least the dvd anyways. the first outdoor nhl game between edmonton and montreal on november 22 2003. the oldtimer game was played that afternoon. played at commonwealth stadium in perfect -20c weather. im still hearing the puck hitting the stick, the skates on the ice and seeing the breath from the players and the fans. just like playing street hockey in that kind of weather. i think i will watch it on tuesday - the two year anniversary of that game. november 22 was signifigant in two ways. 1. game was on a saturday (first game of a cbc doubleheader). 2. that was the date on which the nhl was formed way back in 1917. and montreal is one of two teams who was part of the beginning of the nhl that is still playing today. quiz question. who was the other? answer at a later date.
