Citizens Bank Park is dressed in orange as Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers legends celebrate the game of hockey by laughing at each other, falling over and, occasionally, putting on huge bursts of speed and blowing past defensemen who haven't played pro hockey in 30 years.

It's a beautiful thing. As is the ballpark, which has been transformed into an orange mob that looks a whole lot like hockey heaven. More than 45,000 people turned out for the event, which will now almost certainly be an annual tradition that's just as big as the Winter Classic itself. Fans were decked out in all kinds of old jerseys, with the most popular coming with a big No. 88 on the back.

We walked around the park during the second period of the game and took in the scene. Now, we'll share it with you as best we can.
