THe NHL is losing market share in the US and needs to think outside the BOX to grow the game in the US and Internationally. I'd love to see a weird Champions league too where the SEL, German, AUstrain Fins etc played against the AHL or something. THey need to take their cues more from soccer rather than the big 3 leagues in North America in order to grow the game.
Enjoyed that first game , now lets see what the rest of the tournament brings
