Winter Classic 2014
Winter Classic 2014: Biggest hockey game ever, but can it beat the bowls?
NHL's outdoor Winter Classic has already proven a hit, and Wednesday's will be the biggest ever. But the league is planning five more outdoor games this season, which could backfire.

Henrik Zetterberg, the full-bearded Detroit Red Wings frontman, stepped out onto the frozen pond behind his big house near Detroit last week and, leaning on his stick, pondered how his hockey dreams came true.

One thing he recalled was how he started skating as a boy on a lake in Sweden. The family would bring skates on their ice fishing trip and the kids would carve the ice they waited for pike or perch to bite.
Mr. Zetterberg’s tender memory on the snow-blanketed pond ice in Detroit was captured by HBO’s insta-documentary show “24/7,” which is chronicling the rough-and-tumble path of Zetterberg and his Wings to their Original Six meeting with the Toronto Maple Leafsat the outdoor Winter Classic at the University of Michigan’s “Big House” stadium on New Year’s Day. The event is expected to become the best-attended hockey event of all time, with some 107,000 people ready to brave 18 degree F weather and likely snow for the 1 p.m. Eastern puck drop.

Zetterberg’s moment also seemed to perfectly embody the mood of an NHL in transition. After making historic TV deals in the US last year and in Canadathis year, and on a roll when it comes to profitability and team values, the league has begun to see long-term viability in banking on its roots.
“The brand that we have looked to develop is the romance and nostalgia with everyone's first experience with the game, which typically is on the frozen lakes and ponds," NHL chief operating officer John Collins tells USA Today.
The Sixth annual New Year’s Winter Classic is likely to fulfill Commissioner Gary Bettman’s plan to, if not dominate, then at least put a chink in the New Year’s Day college bowl supremacy. But a string of outdoor games to follow in 2014 across the US and Canada will test whether the excitement of the Winter Classic can reap profit and fan appreciation even in places like Los Angeles, where promoters are struggling to sell out the upcoming Los Angeles Kings-Anaheim Ducks matchup at Dodger Stadium.
“All of the ingredients are here for the NHL to add another incredible chapter into what has undoubtedly become its signature event, one that has helped Commissioner Gary Bettman seem not so crazy when he said he wanted to challenge college football for New Year's Day supremacy,” writes CBS Sports columnist Brian Stubits. “Hockey's Granddaddy of Them All is set to have its grandest spectacle to date.”
The five Winter Classics so far have been among the most-watched hockey matches ever, a trend the NHL is expecting to keep up on Wednesday afternoon in Ann Arbor.
The New Year’s Day Winter Classic 2014 will feature two teams that, yes, are so-called Original Six franchises, but which are both facing challenges on and off the ice. The once-dominant Red Wings barely made the playoffs last spring year and have struggled since the retirement of veteran captain Nick Lidstrom. But the team has some of the league’s very best players, Zetterberg and “Magic Man” Pavel Datsyuk.
Behind leading scorer Phil Kessel and captain Dion Phaneuf – whose special pregame proceedings include a tense game of ping pong – the Maple Leafs are on the cusp of a breakout year.
While the standings won’t move too much depending on which team wins, it’s a matter of Original Six pride and showcasing a league that has largely ended its expansion era in order to consolidate teams where there are lots of people who like hockey. Take the sale of the Atlanta Thrashers two years ago to chilly Winnipeg, where the club within a few months doubled its value and regularly packs arenas where the same team could barely muster a smattering of fans in the ATL.
By expanding the Winter Classic to a series of six outdoor games this year, including the one in Los Angeles, the league is also monetizing that nostalgia with $200-and-up seats for contests that unfailingly sell out. Three of the contests – the Winter Classic, the Rangers and New Jersey Devils at Yankee Stadium, and the Penguins versus Blackhawks at Soldier Field – have already sold out, while the league is discounting tickets to the three other games in Vancouver, Los Angeles, and a second game at Yankee Stadium.
“The Winter Classic's uniqueness is going to be tested this year,” writes Dan Di Sciullo for the Sports Network. “One thing that makes the game so special and such a hit is that it is different. But this game marks the start of a stretch of six outdoor games in the span of two months. It's a real concern that outdoor game fatigue is going to set in and it will become tired, somewhat similar to the criticism many have had about HBO's groundbreaking series 24/7 in its third year. The novelty is wearing thin.”
Only time will tell the long-term viability of the outdoor game, but for players like Zetterberg, who fell in love with hockey in the middle of a lake in winter, the long wait for a game in the snow is almost over.

The "Sherlock" Season 3 does the near-impossible: Sherlock Holmes comes back from the dead. He and Watson even manage to get passed that little death issue as well, even if it does take **another brush or two with doom to inspire it.
Also, Sherlock likes Mary Morstan, Watson's fiancee. "The Empty Hearse" really is the most impossible episode of a crazy show. But somehow it all works.
How to fake a death ... three different ways
When the producers of "Sherlock" said that they had worked out exactly how Holmes had faked his death, they weren't kidding. There isn't just one explanation for how the detective fooled the world: There are three.
The first explanation comes right at the beginning of the episode, from the mouth of Lestrade's odd, ex-detective friend. According to this guy, Sherlock strapped on a bungee cord and bounced through Molly Hooper's window instead of dying. Mycroft's people, meanwhile, substituted the masked body of Moriarty for Sherlock.
Celebrity hypnotist Derren Brown managed to work his way into the story as well.
Although this was the only valid explanation given for the first hour of "The Empty Hearse" -- if we ignore the "Sherlock and Moriarty drop a dummy and then kiss passionately" theory -- it isn't exactly correct.
Late in the episode, there is a somewhat random insertion of Sherlock offering that same ex-police detective a "real" explanation. This version has Sherlock falling onto an airbag and using the diversion of John getting hit by a bicycle to get a dead body-double thrown to the ground. When Watson did show up to inspect the body, it was Sherlock again -- he just wore fake blood and briefly cut off his own pulse.
Is this the truth? It probably is, but it wouldn't be impossible for "Sherlock" to offer yet another answer later in the season.
There's a fine line between gratitude and fury
However Sherlock faked his death, John Watson isn't as pleased as you (or Sherlock) might expect at seeing his old friend alive. This is partially because Sherlock chooses to surprise John at a restaurant right as Watson is going to propose to Mary. The fury also comes from John's basic attack-a-problem-with-force mentality.
Mostly, however, Watson is mad because Sherlock didn't ever bother to let his supposed best friend know the death was fake. That's fair. After all, Molly and Mycroft knew. Even Sherlock's (disturbingly normal) parents knew about it. Only John got left in the dark.
Even though this was for Watson's own good and continued life -- Moriarty would have had him killed otherwise -- John isn't thrilled. He is so upset, in fact, that he doesn't even feel better after trying to kill Sherlock three times.
Back on the jobs
The main reason why Sherlock has returned to London at this exact time is a terrorist plot. Mycroft has intelligence that something is coming and needs his brother to sniff out what that might be. The problem is, Sherlock can't find anything.
It doesn't help that Watson is choosing to keep to his dull medical practice instead of helping solve crimes. So Sherlock turns to Molly, who is a reasonably effective (if totally awkward) replacement. Sherlock isn't happy about it though.
He doesn't much like the cases either. At least one of them, involving a hat-wearing train enthusiast who notices a man going missing during a ride, shows some promise.
Celebrating Guy Fawkes Day in a move guaranteed to confuse Americans
"Sherlock" is one of the more popular British exports in recent years, and Americans love it. Unfortunately, many of those fans in the US are going to be very, very confused by a major plot point in "The Empty Hearse" -- Watson gets kidnapped and nearly killed for Guy Fawkes Day.
This is a November holiday in England that (fittingly) celebrates a historical figure's failed attempt to blow up Parliament. The holiday is celebrated traditionally with bonfires and fireworks, thus explaining why a bunch of good people were happily about to burn Watson to a crisp.
Whatever confusion may reign overseas, John's near-death experience is necessary for what comes next in the case.
Attention TV heroes: There's an off-switch
Sherlock and John finally piece together some clues to realize that the terrorist plot is aimed at destroying Parliament during an important vote. Clues to this include:
1. The man missing from the London Underground wasn't the only thing that went missing -- a whole subway car disappeared too.
2. The missing car had to have been diverted to a location not on the Underground map.
3. That location is a mostly unknown, unfinished station -- one that just happens to lie right beneath Parliament.
The great detective and his Watson therefore descend beneath the earth and quickly find the appropriate subway car. There's just one problem: The whole carriage is wired to explode. And when the bad guy triggers his detonator (remotely, from a hotel room), the men have less than 3 minutes to defuse a bomb.
That's a problem. Despite his vast knowledge, it turns out that Sherlock doesn't actually know how to defuse a bomb. Neither does Watson, seeing as he was an army doctor and not an explosives expert.
All seems lost. This prompts apparent despair from Sherlock and forgiveness from John. Then they don't blow up. This is because Holmes finds the bomb's off-switch. As he puts it: "There's an off-switch. There's always an off-switch."
The return of Sherlock Holmes
A couple of brushes with death prove to be all Watson needs to renew his friendship with Sherlock. All signs indicate that they'll be partners from now on, even if John still intends to marry Mary. The episode thus ends cheerfully with a gathering of tea-drinking friends and a bevy of Holmes-loving reporters.
