2014 Winter Classic (Leafs @ Wings)

[Bates]

Thought this hit the mark.


"Defenceman Mark Fraser thought it was ironic to be asked about media intrusion when the Leafs are already so closely documented, led by their own TV station."

"Seldom do we not have cameras around us," Fraser said. "I don't think it will be anything different."

So based on that Bernier and Gustavsson will be starters on the night  ;D

I wish there was a bit more time to develop a modern day rivalry.  I'm not feeling it.

You know, it didn't hit me until now but I think Grabo's loss will be most keenly felt by his not appearing on this show. Something tells me that our former resident Habs puncher would have been the breakout star this year.

I could see that. Burkie would have also played a prominent role I'm sure. With a lot of low key personalities among this group, I wonder who's gonna draw the most attention on this show. Clarkson seems to be a bit of a character. Lupul and Kadri dont shy away from cameras either.

Good point, would be fun to see how many words they get out of Kessel, anyway, my guess is that Lups is going to be most visible Leaf on the show

Howard is out 2-4 weeks with a knee sprain.  Looks like the Leafs will see Gustavsson at the Winter Classic.

Let hope for a shelling!

An @HBO crew member just promised tonight's first episode of the #RedWings and #MapleLeafs "24/7" is "epic".

Who's going?

Sad to have heard that Sundin is not taking part in the event...

Next game! This feels like a playoff game smack dab in the middle of the regular season. It should be a good one! Fire up the PVR.

What is the schedule? I know when the game is at between the Leafs and Wings, but when is the Alumni game? Is it on TV?

The AHL game is today and the alumni games are tomorrow at Comerica Park. The AHL game is being televised at 5:00pm Eastern on Sportsnet. The Alumni games will be shown on Leafs TV, starting at 6:00pm.

 

[Kessel Run]

No GDT yet?

Also, nobody watching the alumni games?

Where was Salming?  Our answer to Lindstrom.

A 'home run for hockey' at a football stadium.

From Mirtle...

"Winter Classic on NBC tied as the highest-rated NHL regular-season game in nearly four decades." Leafs didn't hurt the draw apparently...
