      As I said elsewhere, due to NBC Sports losing so much money, I can only assume that they're using a 1783 map of the United States when it comes to making decisions. Teams outside of the northeast don't exist, except for those strange yokels in Chicago and Detroit. No need to show games later than 12:30 either, since no one in the US is more than an hour behind.

      That's probably why they decided to do tape delayed live Olympic events to those weird French and Spanish foreigners on the other side of the Mississippi.

          Yankee stadium is going to have a college football bowl game around the 1st for the next 5 years, minimum.

            Yup, the Pinstripe Bowl will be taking up all the prep time they'd need to put a rink in down there as the game is either just before or just after Christmas (I forget which).

                  The NHL is trying desperately to get over the "B" league taint... why would they want to play at the home of the Mets?

                    Yep, I googled it. Turns out he's right.

                    I don't know if it has the capacity that the NHL is looking for though.

                      Thanks for the info. It totally slipped my mind. I am surprised the Rangers haven't been involved in an outdoor game. The New Giants Stadium would be a good venue. I'm also surprised that the Maple Leafs haven't gotten any consideration for an outdoor game. I think they are the only two Original Six teams to not play in the elements and I am sure they could get enough fan support to justify it.

                        I'm not.

                        Of course the NHL wants the Pens in on this gimmick every 3-4 years. More time for the Nothing But Crosby network to get his mug out there.

                        Also, people need to accept that the WC is pretty much always going to involve northern/eastern teams. That's where hockey has the biggest following and, most importantly, where it's feasible to have outdoor games. What matchups do those fans care about most? Oh yeah - other northern/eastern rivals.

                          There are a ton of Maple Leaf fans and I'm sure they would tune into the WC for that reason. I know they are rebuilding, but once they are back in contention, they should be considered.

                            I know they have good fan support, I was just kidding.

                              The two things I wonder about is how the ticket money ends up getting divided. I imagine the 23 teams that don't exist to NBC are going to be annoyed if this $3-4 million game gets passed back and forth between Detroit and Pittsburgh if they don't get to grab a cut.

                              The ratings are obviously better on average on New Year's, but New Year's is one of those days where sporting events are expected, and to me, outdoor hockey is jumping the shark. There have been what, 5 games in the last three years, to be 7 by January 2 2011 in 4 years?

                              Of the 3 NHL games so far (not counting the Edmonton exhibition), only one has been actual watchable hockey.

                                Not quite Pat Burns trying to go bench to bench at Maple Leaf Gardens in '93.

                                The best part was the two players to Playfair's left covering their mouths with their gloves - obviously getting a good chuckle out of his tirade.
