Winter Classic


Dan Rosen at NHL.com has this Q&A with Winter Classic ice guru Dan Craig in preparation of tomorrow's game between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks.

Craig says the ice is holding up very good, except for some brittleness in the corners. The biggest problem, isn't the ice, it seems to be the sun which depending on the forecast could force the players to wear sun glasses.

The Q&A also includes a video of the workers putting the rink together.

...i'm definitely looking forward to the game. Hopefully we'll be discussing the game at the new Yankee Stadium next season.
