Every other game has been on NHLN so this one should be on it too or it would be WEIRD.

I hate canadians from the bottom of my heart as far as the game of hockey goes, PLEASE U.S WIN THIS ONE FOR US.

...

The tournament's host committee had a licence to sell $1.5 million worth of tickets, but it recently applied for a $2 million threshold.
