When Mike Illitch was in the media when the NHL announced that the Wings were getting the Winter Classic and after game 4 , was a huge difference and it hasn't been that long . I think he may be sick as everyone has been taking about it on Red Wings boards . The money coming in from 2 maybe 3 home games will be tremendous for the city , but unfortunately we lose approx. $3 million per home game with no hockey . I hope Mr.I gets his World Series ring because he's not looking too good right now .
