Hal or Hank said something to the effect ... that there is NO WAY .... a team from Boston is going to have a shot at being the last team to win at Yankee Stadium ... and that was pretty much it ... don't remember the paper ... but there was a quote to that effect... maybe CB knows more since he was doing stuff with MLB during the all-star game in July.

Their Fan base is too large to ignore. It will be Rangers-Some other team. Rangers-Islanders will not happen because the NHL will not broadcast a game that can degenerate into an all out brawl with bad blood on national television. The Winter Classic is a showcase for the most talented and not a stage to air our dirty laundry. Unfortunately, any outdoor game taking place in NY will include the Rangers.

Call me an optimist, I still think they play in it. Say it is next year, you have Isles/Rags. The year after that, you move it up to Fenway with Boston/Montreal. It makes way to much sense. Rangers can headline. They don't need another big name to pull viewer numbers. Just as Crosby pulled numbers playing Buffalo. A team only Buffalo cares about.

Yeah, I think the Isles and Rangers should play there. They ought to find a way to play a NYC game in Central Park. Yeah, I think the Isles and Rangers should play there.

If we are willing to part with some parts we never plan on using, we might be able to push some of our assets from second and third rounders to firsts. Pock, Sim, Tambellini, Walter, Gervais, two of the second rounders, and our 5th,6th, and 7th rounders as well as others, could be used to sweeten deals. Teams hate spending there first rounders for rentals that leave the next year and this is a way that they get something back in return for there investment. Columbus, Colorado, Pitts., Edmonton, Chicago, and Calgary could be teams looking to make a push. And Comrie, Guerin and Weight are not our future. Guerin might look good on the other side of Crosby. Food for thought, or maybe over wishing. I think we have a golden opportunity in the next two months, to possibly gather two or even three first rounders.
