NHL Screwing Up AGAIN!!

The NHL has hit the jackpot the past couple seasons with the Winter Classic on New Year's Day. Then they hit the lottery again with a great 7 game series in the Stanley Cup Finals plus great games prior to the finals featuring Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin.

And yet word is coming in that the NHL is looking to hold a double header on New Years Day featuring 2 outdoor games. One in Calgary and one in Boston.

Exciting right?

I am not convinced. Personally I think they should do this no more than 1 time per year. Hell I think it would be okay to play the outdoor game only once every other year.

You give me people too much and force it on them it can backfire. Plus is NBC really going to show both games on New Years?? The ratings weren't that good to justify giving them 6 straight hours on a big TV day.

I think the Winter Classic is a good idea and is a good marketing tool for the league. But keep it to only one game a year. And don't be afraid to skip a year if the ratings are low or the fans don't get as excited.
