Toronto Maple Leafs ‏@MapleLeafs

Just added to the #WinterClassic Alumni Showdown: Leeman, Courtnall, Damphousse, Ellett, Derlago, McGill: http://bit.ly/2WVgQ

Edit: Completes the "kid line," no?

I thought they were the hound line....clark, courtnall and leeman.

S***, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking there.  :-[ Still, it'll be fun to see them reunited.

You were thinking of Joe Primeau, Charlie Conacher, and Busher Jackson.  Might be hard to get them to play together though....

What's more embarrassing is that I really wasn't... I just don't know what possessed me to type that.  :-\

Wouldn't stop C. Montgomery Burns from trying.....

Well, put on the Hot Chocolate and pour in some bourbon. Your pal Nik just bought his seats to the Winter Classic.

On a side note, they made me buy tickets to the outdoor OHL double header at Comerica a couple days beforehand as part of the package which A) Screw you and B) Because it'll be me and a group of buddies heading down from Toronto and who might not want to go to that there might, I stress, might be 4 tickets available to that at some point.

Did you get picked in the draw?

Did you get picked in the draw?

Indeed I did. I was, as the message informed me, "awarded the opportunity to purchase up to four ticket packages to the Bridgestone Winter Classic and Sirius XM Hockeytown Winter Festival" or something.

If you don't mind me asking how much did the tickets cost you <approx>?

Potentially the jerseys, or at least the style, the Leafs may be wearing at the Winter Classic: http://www.thestar.com/sports/leafs/article/1235933--winter-classic-maple-leafs-jersey-going-retro

Is there a depth chart style of line up created yet for all four groups? I'm hearing some interesting names being thrown around. Still no sound of Eddie!

Here comes the muscle!

How did Brad May manage to weasel his way into this? Didn't he play the same amount of time with Detroit? 1/2 a year...

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Not even a full season between the two teams.

He played more games with Detroit.

Can we put a games/time spent threshold on players playing in these games?

 

[Boston Leaf]

why do they keep adding players? They're going to have to cancel this anyway

 

[Peter D.]

Can someone explain the draw?  I got picked to purchase tickets, but I don't recall entering in the first place.  Only thing I can think of is being a insider subscriber.

Either way, I passed on purchasing the tickets.

lol...and here I knowingly entered the draw and didn't get picked to buy tickets!

NHL Oldtimers might be the only hockey this winter. 8) 8)

That'll probably be the most entertaining part of the event anyway.

Sundin has finally been confirmed for the game, as well as Nieuwendyk, Salming, and Mahovlich:

What are the odds Sundin gets Domi and May on his wings?

 

[armche123]

detroit should be ticked too...no yzerman and no fedorov.

Still no Yzerman..
