"NHL Fumbles"


Tonight Montreal and Edmonton played a game out doors an NHL first, after an alumni game from both teams which featured the First (and likely last ever) appearance of the Great One on ice. The first time in an Oilers since the biggest trade in NHL history in 1988. Not to mention a very impressive of recently retired NHL greats.

The rink was made in the middle of Candian Football Stadium and shattered the record for people at an NHL game by thousands. The same was played outdoors under the open sky like back in the day. A great way to promote the game of hockey which is based on tradition. A great way to excite people about the NHL in a year of empty seats at rinks.

If you didn't know this you are not alone. THe NHL did nothing promote this game. They didnt run it on ESPN. So unless you had the hockey package on digital cable or the DISH. You had no way of seeing this game. Despite the NHL hyping it since Sept. on their own webpage.

IT really pisses me off. Luckily my friend DUke has the package and I was able to check it out. I would have liked to have taped it. The NHL wonders why they so many problems. WHat a bunch of idoits to let a great thing like this go unseen. I am pissed.
