Toronto Maple Leafs

The NHL is announcing top moments and plays of the decade and the latest event announced is the outdoor game between Detroit and Toronto in Ann Arbor.

It was just a few years ago when the Red Wings and Maple Leafs played outdoors at Michigan Stadium.  That game also included an alumni match up between the two teams.   They are set to go at it again with the rosters just released for the alumni game.

New Years Day will see the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs play outdoors once again in the Centennial Classic in Toronto.  The day before will see the alumni of both teams go at it at Exhibition Stadium.

We may get an occasional fight here and there in an NHL game.  Not since the ugliness of the Red Wings, Avalanche rivalry have I seen brawls like this recent game between Vancouver and Toronto that happened over the weekend.

The Detroit Red Wings are schedule for one outdoor game this season which will be Saturday, February 27th In Denver.  According to Detroit Free Press, the Wings are the possible opponent for the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 2017 Winter Classic.

Today marks the beginning of the NHL Season.  Other than Baseball, Hockey is  my favorite sport.  Always enjoyed it from the first puck drop of the regular season to the final game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Today all the teams can feel they have a chance to win the Stanley Cup (the hardest trophy to win in sports).

The 2014 Winter Classic was played yesterday after being postponed from last year.  The Detroit Red Wings hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. It was a fun  game even though the Wings ended up losing in a Shootout 3-2...
