08:28 AM ET 01.06 | NHL hockey at the Big House? Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon confirmed Thursday that he has been approached by the NHL about playing host for the Winter Classic, in what would be the league's sixth annual New Year's Day outdoor game. "We have been approached by the NHL about utilizing our facility for the 2013 Winter Classic," Brandon said in a statement. "There are a lot of complex circumstances that need to be ironed out before anything moves forward. We will have more to say if/when something materializes." The NHL has yet to announce which teams would play in next year's Winter Classic, but the fact that Brandon has been approached suggests rumors about the Detroit Red Wings being eyed as potential participants to be true.

Well, it's 4 hours from Pittsburgh, give or take, while you need a passport for Leafs fans. So not that easy a guess. They already did Hawks-Wings.

Eh, the Leafs fans already have their passports for going to Buffalo because they can't get tickets at the ACC.

No picnics allowed in Detroit unless you wear the prerequisite Kevlar body suit.
