Will you be catching any hockey games over Christmas? (NHL)?

That's a solid trip. Spent a week in Denver last spring (my skiing is nil so the only technique on offer is to hang out in the lodge and knock back a few) and really liked it. Chicago is easily my favourite US port of call . Just not sure where I'd go for only one dinner (Blackbeard, Avec, and the Topopoblano top the list but that's nowhere near a complete list).

BQ1: I'm making the trek down the 401 over New Year's for the Winter Classic. Working on scheduling a meetup/drinkup with some folks (think I'm gonna need it).

BQ2: I'll leave that to the younger set. I get my hairstyle tips from Pierre McGuire (it's more aerodynamic).

Doing the Winter Classic at the Big House and catching the Griffins game as well (if I can take the cold....it sucks bad here the past 10 days, only once has it stopped snowing and most days wind chill is around 0). Havent looked at their schedule yet but might make the run to catch a Ferris St. game if they are home, probably not though given they are on break starting this week.

BQ1....yes, made the Wings/Hawks at Wrigley in '09.

BQ2...bleached works for me

Enjoy your trip. Vail is fabulous.

Won't be seeing much hockey over the holidays (except for grandchildren's tournaments). Leafs only road game is in the Big House and I don't sit outside for any hockey game. Dukes and Hawks are on a Christmas break and Bulls are playing opposite the Winter Classic. So not much likelihood of catching a game there. I would only go to Ottawa to see the Leafs but they're not there until the last game of the season. By that time the drug dealer will boycott ticket sales to anyone in Blue.

BA1- This year in the Big House

BA2- Have to try that colour on what's left.

We have tickets for a game in January. We being The Daughter, the oldest Granddaughter and her boyfriend.

I would love to get tickets to the Winter Classic at The Big House but I can't afford it. I'd like to see one of the Alumni games, too, or even the GLI all which will be at Comerica Park but again...no money.

BQ1: 2009 the Wings played against (and beat) the Blackhawks at Wrigley Field.

BQ2: Apparently. The cutest one is the one with the darkest hair. Some of those bleach jobs are horrendous.

Unfortunately the Flyers are on the road more then they are at home and nowhere they play is really in my budget as to where I can travel and watch them.

I will go to Xfinity Live and watch a couple of games but thats about it over this break.

I am in my fantasy football championship game...if I win the 600 bones things may change though.

BQ1: Two one in Bahston and one in Philly.

BQ2: More of a brunette guy myself. Not into the bleach blonde and I hope it's not back in.

Yep. Caps are at home on Saturday and Monday, and in between, my boyfriend and I are heading up to Hershey to catch a Bears game. The Caps also have a home game on the 27th. The away games I'll be watching on TV.

BQ1: Yep, the Winter Classic in 2011. And I can't wait for the game in 2015. I was also at the AHL Outdoor Classic in Hershey this past January. Hoo, boy, was it COLD!

BQ2: Please, Gaia, no.

Nice trip for you!

Edmonton Oilers host Flyers on December 28th. Hope Bryzgalov shuts out his old team!

The Oilers hosted the FIRST outdoor game in freeeeezzzing temperatures! They played the Montreal Canadiens. Habs won 3-2.

Yes to bottled blondes.

Yseeir! Van canucks vs the jets on the 22nd!

Not yet, but heritage classic is coming up, being a vancouverite outdoor games are rare /:

Sounds like a great road trip...enjoy!

Catching whatever I can get on the radio or interweb...

BQ- not yet, next year?

The Tim household is in a recession. Unless I get a free ticket I ain't going to any games any time soon.

Bq: ask again in 16 days
