Gillette Stadium’s Winter Classic Rink Looks Awesome Days Before Puck Drop

Wait, don’t the New England Patriots play here?

Gillette Stadium looks pretty sweet — and slightly unrecognizable — just four days before the puck drops on the NHL’s annual Winter Classic.

This will be one heck of a backdrop for the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens’ epic rivalry game. And, hey, with a little snow in the forecast this week, maybe the ice actually will be cold when they get there.

Thanks, Mother Nature.
