Winter Classic was already spoiled
With no negotiations taking place in the past week-plus and a $250,000 payment due to the University of Michigan Friday, the Winter Classic officially got the axe today.
For me, the Winter Classic was spoiled the moment it became apparent the two sides were willing to cancel games and use the fans as a pawn in their greedy game. Say the season came back in time to save the Classic – would it have felt right jumping right back on board and supporting the league in its biggest event of the regular season?
Down Goes Brown nails it with this series of tweets:
News of the Winter Classic being canceled is the first time during this whole lockout that I’ve been really worried, and here’s why… (1/3)

I’m as diehard a Leaf fan as there is. I should be devastated by this. But I’m not. I shrugged it off. I’m not sure I care any more. (2/3)

The ’94 and ’04 lockouts gutted me. This one, not even close. Go ahead, cancel the WC. Cancel everything. I hope you all go broke. (3/3)
