Minnesota and Colorado aren't going to host games until the Wild and Avs gain (or regain, in Colorado's case) relevancy. Consistent playoff appearances and/or a deep playoff run plus star power will be required for a non "NBC 7" team to host.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread
We all know NBC doesn't care about the West Coast or Canada. A beat reporter for the Panthers mentioned they are interested in hosting a game perhaps in the Marlins stadium (closed roof to help ice conditions).
Here's a great story from Deadspin:

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread
If you go with my prediction by 2015, Buffalo, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Philly, Detroit, Washington, and New York would have already hosted. If they don't put the next 2 games in Minny and Denver, I don't know where else they would put them unless they want to recycle host cities or put them in .... Canada (I don't think this would ever happen).

This will make me happy, long way away but I want to hear Babcock's reactions after a bad period if they are in the 24/7 special.Comment

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread
I'd be just as pumped for the 24/7 series with the Wings as I would the actual game. I always wonder how Lidstrom, Zetterberg, etc react around the other players. With such a veteran lineup you have to wonder how they react to a bad period or something. Be awesome, make it happen NHLComment

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread
The Winter Classic should not be indoors.
It should not be in Ford Field, it should not be in the Marlins park.
Outside is what makes it what it is. Otherwise it's just a regular hockey game in a bigger than usual building.Member: OS Uni Snob Association | Twitter: @MyNameIsJesseG | #WT4M | #WatchTheWorldBurn

If it is indeed in Detroit next year that makes what 2 or 3 Detroit WC appearances now? Getting kinda silly imo to the point that I don't even care to watch the WC anymore.Comment
