Lines in anticipation of Alfredsson not playing, will update with changes in the morning as they become available. This is a special event that I have been looking forward to since it had been announced a couple years ago, enjoy the game and most importantly... LETS GO WINGS!!

NBC is garbage. Are the Penguins playing today? Enough with highlights of them and injecting Crosby into every discussion.

I think Samuelsson should shovel the snow during the breaks.

Roenick is so freaking dumb. He just said that Crosby beat Hasek to win the 2008 Winter Classic against the Sabres.

Homer got to punk us all one last time! esteef

But, of course, they score in the last minute of the period.

cbc showed replay of kindl "penalty". his hand never ever did cover the puck, let alone grab it.

Abby needs to challenge this meterosexual HBO boy after he gets out of the box.

The only thing that can take away from an event like this.....Eddie Olczyk in the broadcast booth.

Epic. He looks like Dan Cleary there.

Guys GUYS What an awesome game! Tears were shed, asses were frozen off, and a good time was had by all. I wept openly along with everyone else in my section when Vladdy came out. There were NO boos for Fed, and he got some of the biggest screams after Stevie and Lids. Stevie. What can I say? He looked so HAPPY. They kept showing him on the jumbotron during warm ups and he always had a s*** eating grin on his face. He is my Captain and will never be replaced. Sergei. I almost flung myself out of my seat. I would still marry him today if he asked he definitely looks like he could still play and still has that "specialness" that naturally talented people have. Everything combined to make it a perfect game but we all almost died from the nostalgia. It was a really special time to be a Wings fan, and I'm glad I got to experience it! Edit: and I rode the elevator with Ken Kal!

Female hockey players. Mmmmmm... /sexist I have a bad feeling about this final 20. We really need these two points.

Out-shoot them, out-chance them, out-muscle them, out-compete them, flat-out out-play them...and we go into the third tied, because we can't convert on our chances, and the opposing goalie is playing out of his mind. Red Wings Hockey!

Bernier is the only reason it's not 3, or 4-0 by now.

Phaneuf is such a tool. Soft crosschecking cuz he fell down. Then playing toughguy with Alfredsson.

Great GDT. This must be what it feels like for people who care about the super bowl.

Both goalies playing out of their minds. But the Leafs are lucky that Bernier is playing so well. We can get it back. It's not like we're up by 2. No one cares about women's hockey.

It's truly diminishing how special the winter classic is.

that's the same thing I heard too...Liles for Gleason. Leafs GM is a prick. Let the guy play before you sign the trade...c'mon...

Really though, we gotta be happy with that period, spent a lot of time in the Leafs zone, had some good chances, shame they fell to Miller and Cleary..... But how in the hell is that not 5 and a game misconduct for Lupul?

Fun game so far but someone failed by that not being Karen Newman singing the National Anthem....or at the very least, some performer from Michigan. The Zac Brown Band? Really?

I'm not quite sure what the infraction was that Abby got called for. Looked like a harmless play.

Wish I was going to this one I would have been there if they had it last year, but now I have responsibilities, other things to spend money on, blah blah blah. Hope everyone who's at the game has a blast, looks like the weather will be perfect for an outdoor game.

wait ... what happened to Alfie? and WHY Howie ... he's not ready for the big stage.
