I heard that Yankee Stadium couldn't hold the game because of "logistical" concerns so it was on at Wrigley..Hawks vs Wings

i would like to see the nhl take commercials timeouts out of the game, put them between periods much like soccer. The games would flow that much better

Maybe so, but as it is they flow way better than basketball or football.

Does "logistical" = wrecking ball?

Yeah, that was it. There were allegedly answers for both but I don't remember the details. The water pipes issue was apparently put to rest, but perhaps not to the satisfaction of one side or the other. As far as the NYC issue, yes, that was cause for concern but apparently the work around was some sort of lease deal/agreement.

Regardless, I guess it didn't happen, so Chicago it is.

real network...

I must say the last 10 seconds were exciting.

When the Pens got within a goal and then pulled the goalie -- it got really exciting. The last 10 seconds were like a heart-stopper.
