Winter Classic 2013 at The Big House!?!?!

[higgyfan4]

wish this presser had close captioning. I can't listen to sound.

Of course they have to do this the day our VP is here, and his office is too damn close to mine, pfftt..

No 24/7?

pretty sure there will be

San Quentin?! This sounds like the first outdoor game I will be interested in.

The Wings have talked to Brendan Shanahan about playing, he told them he'd put the screws on Steve Yzerman to come, too.

Kris Draper told me he is in for the alumni game, as is Kirk Maltby

pretty sure there will be

or maybe not

With all the talk about who might be featured on HBO's 24/7 series on the NHL's Winter Classic, there is no deal to do the show next year

IF THERE'S NO 24/7...I'LL...I'LL...be...very upset. That's what I'll be.

oh Spector ... 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct

No hotels for Winter Classic? Let's buy a house in Detroit. Might be cheaper.

That is bad or they can just do this:

Outside the one in Pittsburgh this is the one I would love to get tickets to.

They better have a 24/7 and it would be great if they add a segment with Ferraro and Phaneuf.

yup. in terms of entertainment value, if 24/7 is a ten,
the games themselves have averaged out to about a four.

I still remember Pierre claiming a burst of wind was responsible for Datsyuk splitting the defense in the Det/Chi Classic.

This might be worth a trip to Michigan if I can get the time off. Like a hockey wet dream.

 

[sherbert1421]

yikes ... hope it doesnt turn into a travel debaucle

even a bigger warning, checked yesterday, 29 of the 31 hotels in Ann Arbour are already fully booked!

yup. good thing i live close by

putting things in perspective

Forbes estimated the gate revenue for the entire Phoenix Coyotes season is $18M. The Winter Classic could surpass that figure alone.

So what you're saying is...Bettman should relocate the Phoenix Coyotes to Ann Arbor?

Wings' Pavel Datsyuk on next season's HBO 24-7 special: “If they follow me it'll be like old movie, no sound.''

This puts considerable pressure on Bettman to make sure that a new CBA is in place for next season (i.e. no lockout)
