08:21 AM ET 10.10 | The Big House may be abuzz with activity this month, but it's missing a few key visitors. In what seems to be a dire sign for the Winter Classic, the NHL Operations Department does not have plans to visit Ann Arbor this month. Officials from league headquarters went to Michigan Stadium in September to do logistics scouting, part of the massive preparation to hold the scheduled outdoor game. ... But with the NHL already having canceled two weeks of the regular season -- and with no progress made on tangible issues between the NHL and the NHL Players Association on a new collective bargaining agreement -- no follow-up trips are on the horizon, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press.

I believe so. We celebrate their family on Arbor Day.

BTW, the cancellation of the Winter Classic (as well as the rest of the season) is what Don Fehr wants for you and until and unless someone takes my advice it is what you'll get.

Perhaps Donny Boy and the Buttgoblin should be introduced to a wood chipper.

That's how I handle gopher problems and shred my favourite hockey team's jersey after every losing season.

You might want to consider chipping some those sweaters with the players still in them.
Just trying to help Danny. :-)

Have the NHL put the rink in my back yard. You boys are invited. Bon fire...seafood bake in the pot over the open fire.....play some puck, drink some suds and have some old fashion yucks. Who knows maybe Burkie will be calling the house looking to sign someone before all the festivities conclude :)

they tried to make an issue of it up here. Frankly, I don't see the issue. If they need to go to Ann Arbor to see the logistics of parking, etc, they can go to any of the games in the big-house, given that they are all sell-outs. The Wolverines are hosting 3 consecutive home games in November, including the final game vs Ohio State, which would probably serve as a better example than the Michigan vs State game anyways.

I'm not a huge fan, but Leafs vs Wings at the Big House kind of interests me.
