I just put some things together that you've all probably already figured out.
FOLLOW ME:
The Buffalo Sabres played in the first Winter Classic on January 1, 2008. Duh. We all know this. I also got food poisoning that day. Good memories all around.
Brian Campbell scored Buffalo's only goal. I'm sure we all recall.
Brian Campbell plays for the Chicago Blackhawks now and he's being paid an obscene amount of money to do so.
The Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings will play in the next Winter Classic on January 1, 2009 at Wrigley Field.
Here's Soupy on the Hockey Show shilling the next Winter Classic and introducing a video from the last Winter Classic:
Soupy: Newest Blackhawk and Winter Classic goal scorer. If you ignore the face and just look at his arms, its kind of ok.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume no one from the Blackhawks organization has seen this video:
HOW IRONIC.
The Soupster, the only Buffalo Sabre or Pittsburgh Penguin to be publicly caught bashing the Winter Classic is the only player from the first Winter Classic to be playing in the next one.
