think about it. picking a canadian team over columbus tells the blue jackets and rightfully so that they can't carry a winter classic. do they even have a hockey rivalry with detroit?


It has nothing to do with the fanbase. It has to do with the fact that the team is on par with ECHL clubs. If the Jackets were a top-10 (even top-15, i.e. low playoff team) they'd likely be in one against Detroit.

Mmmmh I think the fan base does have to do with the selection of the teams, Greater Toronto has a population base of about 6.5 million. Toronto's economy is great, and there are literally no impediments to Leafs fans filling the Big House in Ann Arbor...
