henrik40 76 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 I just got even more excited! An old high school teacher of mine that has season tickets sold me two for $375. Me and my buddy already set a limit at $200 a ticket so this worked out great! Face value they are $75 and in the bleachers section 304 kinda sucks but I felt like I would regret it if I turned em down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krystal 41 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 We're throwing a pretty sweet party here in KC at my brother's house I'm already organizing who's bringing what and spending a pretty good chunk of time over there the next couple weeks trying to help them get their living room in order (two bachelors who move into a house, throw everything they own into the living room = FAIL) and then it's so on. My oldest brother is flying in today from Germany on leave and he made special plans to stay later to catch the Winter Classic with us, since he wasn't in the States for last years. Especially rough on him since he's a Pens fan. Anyone planning a Crosby drinking game yet? I'm contemplating it, since I'll have a DD, but I don't think leaving those 3 in a drunken stupor would be a smart move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim 5 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 I hope the Wings can get off their usual schtick for the WC. With their luck, they'll find themselves playing from behind... then the game gets called early due to weather. oh joy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayUp88 1 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 I tried to get a Winter Classic jersey today but all the stores said they aren't selling them with names on the back because no one knows what the names are going to look like. So I have to get a blank Jersey and then have them put the name and number on after the game, oh well just wanted to give everyone the heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NC WINGS FAN 5 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 Winter Classic ps, don't respond if you are going to complain about it not being here, only positive! What is to complain about? This is the best matchup any hockey fan could have asked for. It is the first time one of the league's most historic rivalries will be playing the Winter Classic. It sure beats the hell out of the previous matchups that were nothing significant. Whenever the Wings face the Hawks, there is sure to be a lot of scoring and lead changes. For some reason, it has almost always been that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. My brother and I were both trying and got as far as typing in the spam-bot security code, but once we typed it in it kicked us back a step. This happened a few times and we now gave up. Extremely disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
