A total of 105,491 fans, the largest crowd in U.S. hockey history, braved the 13-degree weather and piled into Michigan Stadium yesterday for the Winter Classic between the Maple Leafs and Red Wings. Toronto's Tyler Bozak scored the game-winning shootout goal to give Toronto a 3-2 victory. As for Winter Classic style, Maple Leafs defensemanPaul Ranger wore a massive amount of eye black, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock rocked a fedora on the Detroit bench and this fan went home with a great counterfeit T-shirt.

Two Things That Are Ugly

I'm not sure which is worse: The enormous knuckle of Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin or John Wall's spiked Louboutin shoes that cost a mere $1,200.
