Not on my watch.

Don't toy with me, Yahoo Sports. If I got Wings/Leafs at the Big House, I could die happy. After the game, of course!
The potential revenue for this is astronomical. For that reason alone, I'll be surprised if the league doesn't jump at the chance.

Can't wait to read the "Phoenix: I still think it's a hockey market" chapter of Gary Bettman's autobiography. I'm guessing it's going to be chapter 11.

That would be some game, for sure. Fingers crossed. Though, what I'm going to probably look forward to more is the 24/7 series on it. That'll be awesome!

This idea is great but I've heard from the Michigan game they had there a few years ago, it was hard to see all of the players and follow the puck and play. I'm not from Michigan. I've never been to the "Big House" but I've heard this might have been a problem and I wonder if this will play into the decision.

I said this in another thread, but I was there and it wasn't an issue for us. We were mid-bowl in the corner. I was expecting to not see much, but it wasn't bad at all.

I was up in the press box and it wasn't hard to tell which player was which.

This would be awesome. Heck - I might even try to get to enjoy it live. Just need to save some $$$ and get on a plane in time 
And like Nephilim, I would love to see the Wings on 24/7. (Hopefully HBO will do another season).

How is it that the away team has won the Winter Classic 4 out of 5 times?

To be honest who cares? let it be roller hockey in texas between Dallas and Tampa it just one game out of 82. For those who live in Detroit it could be indeed a good Evening. If they could get tickets of course.
Sweet. This dude was brought here for one reason, to punch people in the head - every other thing that he can do, other Wings can do better. I like that we have a head-puncher. The league has other, better head-punchers, but this one is ours. Better than nothing. Good work, Kenny!

Seems to me that the League is putting their glory and numbers ahead of the chance to help the economy of Detroit.

I dont think it has anything to do with that. It has to do with the chance to set an NHL record for attendance that may never happen again. If the Loafs come to town, they may even break the Big Chill records for most in attendance ever for ANY hockey game.

I still say do UofM/MSU and a Red Wings/Maple Leafs double header at the Big House. I guarantee you will sell out in a heartbeat. My hubby even said we might have to do that one, and he's not that big of a hockey fan.
