Shortly after The Winter Classic was played on 1 January 2008--Pittsburgh vs Buffalo--the next game was being planned. By some people, anyway. The rumors ran rampant and a lot was being said of the Wings being one of the teams to play it. It has now been reported--NOT officially till later this week--that Detroit and Chicago will play the 2009 Winter Classic in Chicago at Wrigley Field. How fun is THAT going to be? Hopefully, it won't snow like it did last time--it makes for too dangerous ice. The only other big problem about this is that the Wings won't be able to play their traditional New Year's Eve game--bummer! Oh, well, this will give me something to do during ONE of the traditional party days! :)
