im excited too. However I am worried about the real winter classic with the current state of our team.

Vladdie is playing and Kozlov is not? He'd better have a good fucking reason...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Is Kozlov still playing in the NHL somewhere?

 

[Eddie_Shack]

He played in the KHL last year...

 

[sherbert1421]

kozlov will probably only play in the alumni game if he decides to not play in the KHL next year.

I hope that yzerman and lids decide to play.

The Detroit Red Wings have added another big name to their star-studded alumni team.

Paul Coffey, second all-time among NHL defensemen in points, will wear the winged wheel on Dec. 31 when Detroit takes on the Toronto Maple Leafs in the annual Winter Classic alumni game, to be played at Comerica Park.

Coffey played four seasons in Detroit and will be joined by two teammates from the famous 1995-96 team that won a record-setting 62 games — Mathieu Dandenault and Martin Lapointe.

Coffey led all Wings defensemen in scoring that year (74 points in 76 games) but was traded to Hartford prior to winning a Cup with Detroit.

Dandenault and Lapointe would feature prominently in Detroit’s three championships from 1997-2002.

Not to rain on the parade, but check out the 2 guys on D for the Wings. Not a bad trio of defenseman on that play.

I'll just drop this here (as it is higgy's thread and it's related to her avatar) - Nice touch by the Canadian and Russian junior players showing their respects for the victims of the Yaroslavl tragedy.
