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

I don't know if it has the capacity that the NHL is looking for though.
Yep, I googled it. Turns out he's right.

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.

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.
Doesn't quite beat the Gwozdecky Shuffle, and I'd like to see video of the Shyiak Watter Bottle Toss, but this is certainly one of the better tirades.
Oh, forgot about the Louisiana Ice Gator coach who emptied his team's stick rack on the ice.
And people wonder why I'm a fan of college and minor league hockey... all the good sh** happens here.

Why doesn't NBC just put the "Sid & Ovie Show" on every Sunday?
Four weeks ago Sid was a hero. Now he's just a whiny little Penguin!

A hero on what TV network? TSN? CBC? CTV?
NBC never utilized the "hero" angle at all. Well, that I recall.

New Giants Stadium won't work because it was already tough enough for the NHL to pull off the one in Buffalo and that was with a bad football team.
Giants Stadium was TWO tenants and usually at least one of them is in the playoffs making it virtually impossible to predict or chance hosting the game there. One team is home every weekend making set-up very hard.
Also, I believe New Giants Stadium is trying to host a bowl game isn't it?
Plus there really wasn't a good seat at that game at all. Everyone was miles from the ice. I think the NHL wants to keep it at the baseball venues.

It's fun that the Bruins keep teasing the fans this way.
Sadder still, I've seen some fans that are rooting for Tuukka and Timmy to win the Jennings Trophy rather than, you know, WIN GAMES.
How soon until Colborne plays?

Its not funny when the one time I need the Devils to win, Bergeron knocks the stick out of White's hands and gets them two points.
Stupid Rangers! Just when I thought I was pulled back in, I yanked myself out.

Boston 1, New Jersey 0? That had to be the worst game ever.
Boston would struggle to score in a whorehouse with a fistful of $50's, and New Jersey is well, New Jersey with Jacques Lemaire.
