Judging by the Academy's praise of a certain silent film this year, Pavel on camera = pure gold. Multiple Emmys worth of pure gold.

/Still pissed they couldn't get him to do the Honda commercial with Perry instead of Lidstrom.

yup. good thing i live close by

Where do you live? Just curious.

If I was still up there, I'd be about 30-45 minutes away down I-94. Sadly, I know the inside of U of M Medical Center all too well.

Wonderful hospital, I owe them my life.

Didn't read the story, but on the radio they are saying that at Comerica they will be doing the GLI, Griffins vs. Marlies, and Whalers vs. Spitfires. I have wood.

Man...no Stevie Y? Dang I hope he changes his mind. I understand he has responsibilities in Tampa now, but...it's HIS team.

So who does Philly play in the Winter Classic next year?

Anybody ever tailgate at the Big House? Any rules/regulations, electric hookups, and such?

They have nothing better to do than to obsess over their rivals.

Bandwagon Chicago writer has probably never heard of the Leafs... probably thinks Dennis Rodman is the coach of the Wings.

The Michigan Legislature has approved sale of alcohol at Michigan Stadium on New Year’s Day when the home of Wolverines’ football arena hosts a game between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs. The Senate passed the proposal Wednesday, following up on the House’s action of May 24.

The league made alcohol sales a condition for holding the outdoor NHL Winter Classic game at the Ann Arbor stadium Jan. 1, 2013. AnnArbor.com (It's official: Beer will be served at Michigan Stadium during 2013 Winter Classic ) says the NHL is paying the university $3 million for the stadium’s use.

Officials say the game could break a Guinness World Record as the most-attended hockey game ever. The record was set at Michigan Stadium in 2010 when 104,173 attended a Michigan State-Michigan game.

A graphic posted on DetroitRedWings.com indicates that ticket prices for the 2013 NHL Winter Classic between the Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor will be priced between $89 and $279.

The majority of the seats appear as if they'll cost either $129 or $149.

There are seven price levels, according to the graphic: $89, $129, $149, $189, $219, $249 and $279.

The $89 seats appear to be near the bottom of the stands while the $279 seats are on the club level.

Tickets for the events at Comerica Park will cost $18, $28 and $38, according to the graphic.

There was no indication as to when tickets will go on sale or how many tickets will be available for purchase by the general public.

DetroitRedWings.com also says that anyone purchasing a full season-ticket package or 20-game package will have an "opportunity to purchase tickets to ... the 2012 Hockeytown Winter Festival and the 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic."

It's a shame BWF won't be around for this game.
