ACTUALLY MY FRIEND IF BETTMAN DIDN'T HAVE HIS HEAD UP THE GOOD 'OL BOYS ASSES SOUTH OF US,THERE IS NO DOUBT THE GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED IN MONTREAL...
IT'S THE TEAMS 100th ANNIVERSARY...BUT HEY,THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE AND ANY LEGIT HOCKEY FAN KNOWS BETTMAN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THING 1 ABOUT TRADITION IN THIS FINE LEAGUE...CHICAGO,NOBODY IN THAT CITY REALLY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THAT TEAM...
IT'S JUST ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMPT (AND MONEY GRAB) TO TRY TO GET AMERICAN FANS ON BOARD...AND IT AIN'T GONNA WORK...OTHER THAN A SELECT FEW MARKETS,AMERICANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING F#@K ABOUT HOCKEY,THAT'S A FACT NO MATTER HOW MUCH SPIN THE COUNT FROM SESAME STREET (BETTMAN) WANTS TO PUT ON IT...AT LEAST,IF NOT MORE THAN 40% OF THE FANS AT LAST YEARS OUTDOOR GAME WERE CANADIAN...(AT LEAST 40%)!!!
BOWLING GETS HIGHER RATINGS IN THE STATES THAN HOCKEY!...AND THAT'S JUST FINE WITH ME....THE GAME IS FROM HERE AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE EMBRACED HERE, UNLIKE MOST OF THE MARKETS SOUTH OF US THAT HAVE TEAMS.....BUT TRY TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COUNT AND HE JUST DOES HIS STUPID LITTLE SMIRK AND SHRUG,THEN PROCEEDS TO TWIST THE COLD HARD FACTS...TIME TO GO BETTMAN YOUR REIGN OF IDIOCY SHOULD BE ENDED. 
AND AS FOR THE ISLANDER- RANGER RIVALRY, YEAH IT EXISTS,BUT MONTREL-TORONTO IS A THOUSAND TIMES MORE APPROPRIATE FOR SUCH A GAME.

I see that the Blackhawks and Red Wings are playing the outdoor game this year in Wrigley field. With Yankee Stadium closing down this year they should have had the Islanders and Rangers play there this year.
The Islanders and Rangers may be one of the best 2 or 3 rivalries in all of sports. Could you imagine being a Rangers fan and not wnning a cup since 1940 and along come the islanders and win 4 in their first 11 years of existance? |

YES,MGDMAN....SINCE YOU ARE A HOCKEY FAN,YOU KNOW ALL TOO WELL,THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN EASILY...WITH FREE AGENCY,THE MONEY BEING THROWN AROUND AND THE SOMEWHAT LACK OF LOYALTY...THE YEARS OF THE HABS OF THE 70'S...ISLANDERS AND THE OILERS OF THE EIGHTIES ARE LONGGGGGGGG GONE...THIS MAY SOUND STRANGE TO YOU,BUT I HOPE THAT NEW RUSSIAN LEAGUE IS SUCCESSFUL...REASON BEING,PERHAPS IF SOME OF THESE PLAYERS BOLT OVER THERE,(LIKE JAGR DID TODAY!)MAYBE IT'LL SMARTEN THIS LEAGUE UP...FACT OF THE MATTER IS ALMOST ALL THE U.S. TEAMS ARE LOSING MONEY...CANADIAN ARENAS ARE FULL EVERY GAME...THAT'S JUST THE REALITY OF IT...I MEAN EVEN ORIGINAL SIX TEAMS ARE LOSING MONEY,I.E.,BOSTON,CHICAGO,THERE WERE EVEN MORE THAN A FEW EMPTY SEATS EARLY ON IN THE PLAYOFFS IN DETROIT...TOO MANY TEAMS AND THE FINANCES ARE JUST NOT WORKING...GET RID OF BETTMAN THAT WOULD BE A FINE START!

I'm a huge Redwings fan! But I also follow the Pens so this years final was a great thing for me. I wanted the wings to win it because as young as the Pens are i think they have several cup titles in their future! |
