All indications point to the Winter Classic being cancelled sometime tomorrow by the NHL.

But I still want to believe they need to have a face-to-face with the NHLPA before doing so. Therefore I am going to go out on a limb and saying we hear nothing about the Winter Classic until Monday.

One thing I do know, if the Winter Classic eventually bites the dust, Gary Bettman won't be able to show face at any hockey game in Michigan.

He may have to send Brendan Shanahan as his replacement and hockey fans may even boo Shanny.
