I would like one last event in January in Yankee stadium before someone turns out the lights for good. But it has to be an Islander Ranger game.

The way they are playing right now... they need something to take the focus off of the team. I do believe they will get better but the manager does not have the chance at development.. it is win now or "next"!

Flyers in 7

How about a Giants football game back where it started!

Flyers-Pens in Happy Valley would be awesome. 107,000 hockey fans, split between two hated rivals? That would be insanely great hockey.

Two Penn State Teams in Yankee stadium...I just can't get there somehow.
So...is Bettman considering another outdoor piece with the Pens again?
I think Otherone might be onto something when he emphatically suggests something is brewing between Gary and Crosby besides paps smear...Oops I meant beer.

How about a Western Conference matchup? The NHL needs to stop sucking off Crosby, Malkin, and Ovechkin.

I like the idea of the outdoor thing, but alas, I don't think Yankee Stadium is suited for it.
Happy Valley? sure, any football stadium is, but if they do have one at Yankee Stadium, it could only be Rangers/Islanders.
this does prove, yet again, the Bettman doesn't get it. Biggest market, why the heck wouldn't they try to work it out.

The Rangers and Islanders are incredibly boring franchises, that's why. Sean Avery is the only person on either team that's even remotely interesting, and every one hates him. If the next outdoor game is Rangers-Islanders, it would fail horribly outside New York.

Mcmelt-Stop putting impossibe questions out there. It makes our heads hurt and not even Gocan could offer a long enough explanation by way of an answer.

You've obviously never seen a Ranger/Islander game

what was so impossible/ Bettman is a jack***

I second that suggestion for an all-Pennsylvania outdoor game.

Cassidy's House | 05/16/08, 10:11 AM

no place to really tailgate at Yankee Stadium. Too bad. But I think the outdoor thing would be a blast.
They may as well let all the eastern teams (except the devils. They can't even sell out their own place for a playoff game) do it. Mr. Spread Hockey All Over" should be reminded that they can't do these things in Florida, Texas, Phoenix...etc

Spiny Norman | 05/16/08, 10:29 AM

I say an Original Six match-up. The Rangers vs Red Wings. I think that would be a good one. Who wouldnt want to see Avery all over Osgood's face?

bostongm,
Who wouldnt want to see Avery all over Osgood's face?

I'm guessing Osgood?

the last event in yankee stadium should, and will be, a game 7 world series walk off win.....

Yank-ee Base-ball | 05/16/08, 10:55 AM

Yank-ee,
We only wish. Right now, The Yankees (of whom I am a big fan) couldn't hit a walk off HR off a little eague 4th starter

Spiny Norman | 05/16/08, 10:57 AM

Coming soon - only on Nothing But Crosby network!

You could have read about this days ago on NHL.com.

Arent they in the basment right now? The new yawk yankess? I know they are.I wonder if Steinbrunner will add on another 100 million?

bostongm | 05/16/08, 11:00 AM

Yankees are the suckiest sucks to have ever sucked this year. At least the Rays are in first and not Boston. I said this before and I'll say it again: one day the Rays pitching will catch up with all their #1 draft picks.
