No surprise, but the Leafs Alumni doesn't compare to the Wings. They should forget the Leafs and just split the Wings into 2 teams and play the game that way

[hillbillywingsfan]

Paul Coffey, second all-time among NHL defensemen in points, will wear the winged wheel on Dec. 31 when Detroit takes on the Toronto Maple Leafs in the annual Winter Classic alumni game, to be played at Comerica Park.

Text alerts are SOOO 2000's.

I got the scoop from Malik, who scooped it from @redwingsfeed, who found it by doing some kind of search-engine-bot-voodoo-witchcraft-mumbo-jumbo. Apparently redwingsfeed found the gallery picture before it was made publicly available.

I noticed that too. I signed up anyways, but later found another page with rules that said U. S. and Canada.

Joe Nieuwendyk

I guess the excuses for Yzerman to not participate since he's the GM of the Tampa Bay Lightning are invalid now that the GM of the Dallas Stars is playing for Toronto in the Alumni game?

[The Axe]

Kozlov needs to go

[irishock]

It's possible Holmstrom might be the best player if he's added.

[Zata fan 40]

Anyone recieve any opportunities yet to buy tickets? I thought they said everyone would be contacted by Sept 1.
