Winter Classic Arrives

After months of anticipation and a little criticism, today's 2009 NHL Winter Classic between the Chicago Blackhawks and the rival Detroit Red Wings is finally here. The puck drops at high noon and the game will be shown on NBC 5. The teams met on Tuesday with the Red Wings getting the better of the 'Hawks. It was the 'Hawks first loss since losing to the Red Wings on December 6, ending their nine-game win streak.

If you're going to the game, we'd love to see your pics. Tag them on Flickr with "Chicagoist" or add them to our Flickr Pool.
