You and I are on the same wavelength here, FA. The biggest problem with the NHL right now is that they are trying to appeal to the casual fans that just don't give a shit and losing more and more die hard fans in the process. They are hyping up the Caps & Pens - both of which lost to the same #8 ranked Habs in last year's playoffs - yet the Habs are playing in the Heritage Classic (a game that most fans won't even be able to see outside of Canada).

And the idea for the Avs/Canes Winter Classic would be awesome.

And traditional hockey fans would watch the Wild/Stars play because they would understand the meaning behind a game like that. Will it happen? Of course not. But it would be awesome if they did. Especially if Modano was still in Dallas.
