Looks like Ty Conklin's streak is done.

Get the Habs in the game!

DEFINITELY has to be a Habs vs. Bruins game. If it's not, then the NHL are complete and utter idiots!

It would make sense, but I bet it's Caps-Bruins.

according to Nick Kypreos, everyone wants to do Habs-Bruins.... except NBC and it's looking like the NHL will listen to NBC on this one too.

NBC wants no Canadian teams, has asked for one of Washington or Philly apparently

That's ridiculous... the NHL would benefit more from a Habs/Bruins match-up! They're idiots if they don't use that match-up.

NBC wants better US ratings. The Habs would be a great matchup but wouldn't bring in many American viewers. A huge market like Philly or a huge star like Ovechkin would.

Money talks.
