Oh I understand they still are doing a horrible job attracting the American market, but you have to give them credit when they do something right. That game was great for the NHL in the States, and if they do it again next year I bet even more people will tune in.

It's at least a start for them.


Oh I know...but I cant help diggin on the NHL whenever possible...

I thought it wsa great for hockey and i think it will great for basketball

In September?

I don't know, according to Wesley the wind is a big factor in the outdoor game (around the 3:10 mark of the clip)....

Dude, I don't know where you have been playing...but the wind is always messing with my jumper. I swear, even the gym is drafty :lol:

Great idea, and if its Phoenix and LAL (for a california match) it would be perfect.
