Canada's favourite broadcaster, the CBC, put five classic games (memorable games from any era, including regular-season and playoffs, all-star games, and international match-ups) on its website and asked fans and viewers to vote on what they would like to watch on Saturday night. The first week’s voting is closed, with now the only suspense being the winner, and week two’s games are now up for your choosing. Over 80,000 people voted the first week.

Saturday Oct, 13th's game will be one of the following.

May 10, 1979 Boston vs Montreal

Oct 8, 1992 Montreal vs Ottawa

May 1, 1993 Toronto vs Detroit

May 25, 1994 NY Rangers vs New Jersey

Dec 27, 2000 Toronto vs Pittsburgh

“We’re making lemonade out of lemons,” says Kirstine Stewart, head of CBC English-language services. “You can throw up classic hockey games without giving people the opportunity to choose, but I think what makes this special is allowing people through social media to make their choices known.”

The suspense is killing me. Which game will be the Chosen One? Will I be waiting for 20:00 to see?

Or will I be filling the coffers of MLSE? They have sent me an e-mail letting me know the Marlies are starting their season. The home opener is against the Rochester Americans and their is a Western Conference champions t-shirt give away.
