THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE
(if you did not watch the game)
The Chicago Blackhawks played the Detroit Redwings in Wrigley Field, home to the choking and forever losing Chicago Cubs (but hey, they are just so lovable!).
The vastly improved Hawks were thumped back to earth by the always good Wings, 6-4, but the sport of hockey in general was the real winner in this 2nd annual Winter Classic.

Wow! The place looked great, the atmosphere was perfect and the league and both teams said, and did, the right things. This is why hockey rocks! The players actually look and talk like they enjoy playing the game. Hell, that it seems like it's still a game to these people is what makes it so refreshing! Huzzah to Hockey!
Detroit's "D" sweaters were OK, but Chicago's 1936 throwback uniforms were oh so sweet! You can get one on Ebay for as little as $90 (but the price is rocketing, so buy it now). Do it and reap the rewards of the studliness that will engulf you when you wear it.
Great job NHL! Great job Wrigley Field! Great job Blackhawks! And a great job shout out to those evil-bastards, cheating SOB's, Stanley Cup champion, (and as much as it pains this Avs' fan) class-act from top to bottom Detroit Redwings!
Bring on 2010 and Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park! And Let's Play Hockey!
