The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets look to one of college football's greatest rivalries when they take their game outdoors.
The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets don't have much in the way of shared history. Even though they've been in the same conference since Columbus entered the league in 2000, they've only played one playoff series against each other. That series came in 2009, when Detroit swept Columbus in the first round to spoil the latter's first-ever playoff appearance.
Anyone who knows anything about college sports knows that the feud between the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes is among the most intense in the country. Now, a team from Michigan and a team from Ohio playing at the Buckeyes' home stadium provides a chance to extend the rivalry to the NHL.
With a capacity likely over 100,000 at Ohio Stadium, the NHL wants to make sure it puts on a show in Columbus. The league is already thinking of ways to incorporate famous traditions, most notably the "skull session," where the Ohio State marching band leads a pep rally at St. Johns arena across the street.
