Guest scottj Report post Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) I was reading somethin in a f*** bettman site n somebody said some announcers were talking about this during the montreal vs. detroit game because the wings only play them twice this season (not too sure on the number)... it would be 3 games obviously I think it would be pretty cool to keep a lil bit of traditioin in hockey.... so bettman's not gonna like it edit: now that i think about it, it would be pretty nice if there was a day like that more often than just once... once would be nice though too Edited February 15, 2010 by scottj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 15, 2010 On "Hockey Day in Canada" on the CBC, three games are played on that day, involving all six Canadian teams. So... Have two days every season, so there is both a home and road game against the same team that season. In fact, because of the geographical proximity of the cities, make it on the weekend. Detroit and Montreal used to play the on Saturday night in Montreal and back in Detroit on Sunday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted March 6, 2010 Won't work. Impossible. Leave the marketing to Bettman and crew. Terrible idea. Don't you know that only 2 of the Original 6 are Canadian? And, and, and, Crosby doesn't play for any of them. Silly amateur. Just watch the games The Bettman allows you to and be thankful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you stated, tradition is obviously one of them. The NFL has the traditional Thanksgiving day games which draws viewers induced in a tryptophan/beer coma to those games. Why not apply the same thing to six originals? Make it a day to look forward to, hell, it doesn't even have to be a holiday, just give me a reason to drink and watch hockey! They could even put it on a baseball field, like the Winter Classic, for nostalgia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magicaldatsyuk 6 Report post Posted May 20, 2010 i think it would be a great idea because it would help the publicity of the NHL and i think the NHL needs more of these publicity boosters like the winter-classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
