I can't remember now, but didn't some team limit their ticket sales when they played detroit in the past. Obviously Tampa did it this year, but for some reason when I heard about that I thought it wasn't the first time. Maybe Chicago in '13? I just can't remember...any help?

Alright, that means his $1.5 million bonus won't kick in right? Sorry wrong guy. But I'm ok with it, I never thought he was gonna actually be in the lineup anyways, so this is actually a silver lining

I'll also throw in for March 26. Although this year one game that was really exciting to watch was that game against Pitt where Alfie had the game winner with less than a second left in OT. Detroit takes the 2-0 lead and you feel good, then they let Pitt score 3 straight and you kind of think, "well they've given games away all year." Then Detroit scores 2 straight and you feel good again cuz you think they just came back and there's no way they give it up again. Then Pitt ties it with like 4 minutes left or something and your stomach just drops. And then the PP in OT for Pitt, then Alfie scores with less than a second to win it. Amazing roller coaster of a game. Also, when it was tied, Legwand took that stupid 5 min penalty to guarantee the Penguins a PP for the rest of regulation. Just a great win, especially in a year where every win counted and they were without their two best players. (added video)

Ahhh I remember the pure elation I felt when I saw on twitter that Cleary had signed with the Flyers...

That's what I was thinking as well. The LA/ANA game peaked my interest the most out of all the Stadium Series games this year, just because I wanted to see how it would go. Now that I've seen I don't care anymore. I think part of the spectacle is the snow and cold and people sitting through it to watch the game. The Winter Classic this year was unreal for that, I just wish I could go back and do it again!

When you're an underdog you also can't get into a penalty war and go 2/4 on the kill and 0/4 on the PP. Blame can't fall only on Jimmy. I'm not trying to say he had a strong game, because he didn't, but nor did anyone else really (besides Datsyuk).
