rams80 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 it's a legitimate poll to gauge what people want to see.

JTernup Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 We are just hazing you, we are joking. Lighten up, everybody I've interacted with on ccslc is awesome. Once somebody starts ribbing many others will join in just like sharks to blood.P.s. What I said about SOME new members is true but not necessarily you, it was a good poll and to put in my $.02 as a sharks fan who lives in Colorado, either team would be a great choice because of the rivalries with the dead wings.

FiddySicks Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I'd be in favor of the Sharks playing the Wings in the Winter Classic. But only if it's on the Sharks home turf up here at Squaw Valley in Lake Tahoe. Tahoe in the winter > Detroit in the.... Well, any time.

oddball Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Here's the thing. The only choice is actually the Leafs. There is no rivalry between Colorado and Detroit, Colorado hasn't been a factor for years. Tampa, while the GM angle is good, it's just not going to draw anyone to the tv. Remember the Winter Classic is not for hockey fans but novices, so Stevie Yzerman isn't going to draw as a GM. While the idea of Buffalo is good, Ryan Miller returning to Michigan, no one outside of Michigan cares. Now, the idea of San Jose was good, but really of the choices listed, the Leafs bring years of a rivalry and the romantic story that two classic teams facing off against each other is a 100% guaranteed television draw. You can sell that to anyone easily as you can sell Yankees-Red Sox, Cardinals-Cubs, Cowboys-Redskins, Lakers-Celtics. It's one of those "classic" matchups that marketing people would drool over.
