2013 NHL Winter Classic: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings at "The Big House"

[heatedfrost]

the wings are gonna fuck us up

[YakSa86]

Wouldn't it be funny if they let Conklin play that game (if he's still with the Wings)? Make it the dude who played the most classic games... LOL... as for the alumni, we should really convince Yzerman to change his plan and put on his warrior suits again.

[hockeynmma1992]

@YakSa86 Conklin in net thats like playing without a goalie

[YakSa86]

@hockeynmma1992 It's ok. It's gonna make the game more challenging for the Wings since they're just gonna face the Leafs... lol... Humiliation with no goalie.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

And it will get about 2.4 rating.

Maybe NHL should just be in Canada?

[hockeynmma1992]

@AmericanNohbuddy What the fuck are you talkin about Michigan loves hockey

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@hockeynmma1992

You can still watch it if it's in Canada. It's just outside of like 5 or 6 cities in the US, no one really cares or even watches.

[hockeynmma1992]

@AmericanNohbuddy I would still watch it even tho i live in America i love hockey were i live in Michigan hockey is the number 1 sport and NBC wont air it if it's two canadian teams they want at least one American team in the classic

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@hockeynmma1992

Good for you.

[DzekoSucks]

@Love4SK haha ya no doubt thats why they picked the Leafs... if it was a smaller stadium theyd probably pick 2 American teams

[hockeynmma1992]

@DzekoSucks Americans set the world Record for the largest crowd at a hockey game we love hockey in michigan we would fill it up with 105,000 people even if it were two American teams in the winter classic the Big House would be filled by Red Wing Fans like i said before we love hockey in michigan.

[Fxpill]

Cmon Detroit? They already played in a winter classic. I wanted the battle of Ontario or the greatest rivalry in all sports, Leafs vs Habs.

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@Fxpill

Leafs/Habs, greatest in all of sports? Hilarious.

[hockeynmma1992]

@Fxpill Wont ever happen NBC will not show the game if it's two Canadian teams and having a team from America the game gets 4x more views than if the game was in Canada because there are more people in the USA and the reason why they're having Red Wings vs. Leaf's is because they have the largest fan bases in the NHL Red Wings are 4th in the NHL for sellout games and Leaf's are 2nd so it's all about im American i would still watch the Winter Classic even if it was two canadian teams.

[oilers000]

that is going to be a good game

[sharkattack11647]

sick of wathing the same teams keep playing in the winter classic , happy for the leafs but come on we already saw detroit

[UchihaItachi1986]

The Leafs have had the Wings number in recent seasons.

On a side note, I was ecstatic when Pavel Datsyuk was picked first during the All Star draft

[JoHnToFrEsH]

go leafs go watch out for kessel red wings

[swordsaver]

Very cool, I was wondering when I would get to see the Leafs play an outdoor game. To make it even better a match against Detroit is unreal, even though the rivalry is somewhat dead seeing that these two teams only see each other once a year. Anyways Go Leafs!

[paidaily]

Original 6 Match up Always a Treat!

When do tickets go on sale? Go Wings!

[WolverineDevotee]

Trust me toronto fans. Michigan Stadium will take your breathe away and walking in for your first time, you'll remeber it forever. I'm a Michigan fan and The Big House is the 3rd largest stadium in the world and holds the football and hockey world attendance records. The scoreboards are large HD video screens and, you will love it. Last season Michigan beat state 5-0 and the attendance was 113,411

If you have the chance to get the tickets, GET THEM. You will never regret it, I promise you.

[VmanAK47]

@WolverineDevotee don't worry half of the stadium if not more will be leaf fans lol.

[hockeynmma1992]

@VmanAK47 Bullshit 105,000 in the Big House for the Big Chill Game that set the world record there were know canadian's what makes you think theres going to be more Leaf fans the westside of Michigan is big into hockey and love the Red Wings i am telling you this for your safety when you go to the Big House stay with at least 5 people and dont walk around alone.

[VmanAK47]

@hockeynmma1992 Leaf fans are going to be given half the tickets just like the rangers were given half the past year. Not to mention leaf fans will purchase whatever is being scalped. Theres more leaf fans by far then wings. Prepare for a surprise.

[hockeynmma1992]

@VmanAK47 Funny on facebook the number of likes for the red wings are 1,200,000 and for the Leafs 525,000 make any Excuse you want but theres far more wings fans throught the US and Canada then what the Leafs fan base has i hope your prepared for a surprise.I know a good amount of people coming from Florida, Tennesee and Ohio to come see the wings play see you at the Big House bitch

[VmanAK47]

@hockeynmma1992 lol judge the leaf fan base based on facebook likes. That sounds accurate. Our team is worth far more and has by far more expensive tickets on a regular basis not to mention tickets are much harder to get here.

[hockeynmma1992]

@VmanAK47 The leafs are 1st in item's sold in the NHL with the Red Wing's in 2nd place in items sold. Bleach Report says Michigan is the 2nd biggest hockey state with Minnesota being 1st in America, theres people coming from the U.P of Michigan northern parts of Michigan and not to Mention Grand Rapids which is Michigan 2nd largest city and everybody is a Wing's fan and loves hockey and its only 40 miles away from the Big House.

[VmanAK47]

@hockeynmma1992 windsor to ann arbour is the same distance also your using bleacher report one of the worst sites for hockey knowledge. The leafs are worth a estimated 521 million by forbes while the red wings are 320 million. Face it leaf nations bigger.

[hockeynmma1992]

@VmanAK47 Leaf nation might be bigger but i bet you that ther will be atleast 60,000 wings fans and 40,000 leaf fans actually i guarantee there will be more Wings fans in the Big House.than Leaf fans.

[VmanAK47]

@hockeynmma1992 It will probably be even unless they split the tickets unevenly.
