Considering the possibility of multiple OT games I think it's best to keep off day in between.

    The bottom line is they need to stop assuming traditional hockey markets are the answer. Some are, some aren't. With the failure that was Buffalo try to get more destination spots in the mix. Start with Vegas, Tampa and although Nashville wasn't listed keep exploring that. I would also be ok with NYC since it has never been there.

    The way the Preds fans act like college student section, I like this idea. Also, I think I could actually get Mrs. W. To go to Nashville if there was a good concert on the off day.

    True, but I'm not as fortunate as some guys where Mrs. W. doesn't consider hockey to be a vacation. [emoji1787]

    Places like Philly, Columbus, Chicago, St. Louis. Meh to all of them.
    I missed St. Louis last time. Never been there. So, I’d like to see it back there.

    Wow. I thought Tampa was off the board "forever."

    But I think some of that had to do with Yzerman. And now that he’s no longer with Tampa...

    Agree.

    Count me in for Vegas, period.
