Sean Leahy of the blog Going Five Hole has scored a great interview with a representative of EA Sports and drilled him with questions about the upcoming NHL 09 due to hist stores this September 9th. You can read the full interview by the link at the bottom.I think the last paragraph of his blog article pretty much catches it all.
One of the questions I asked was about whether or not a Winter Classic mode in the game. Eric answered "can't say". Now, he knows all about the game at this point and he holding back information for obvious reasons. I have to believe if there was zero chance of this addition being in the 09 game, he would have just outright say 'no' correct?That makes total sense to me too. The only outdoor fun on NHL 08 was with the mini games one-on-one skills competitions.
There is a "huge surprise" left to be announced by EA Sports regarding NHL 09. Until it's officially out of the bag, I'm saying the Winter Classic will be a playable mode.

Hiya!
Chris here from Pittsburgh Puck Talk. I'm running a blog for the Penguins/NHL and wanted to see if you'd be interesting in swapping links? Let me know whenever you can.
Love the site, and if the Winter Classic is on NHL '09 that's be nasty.
