Once they build the Alaska-Russia bridge, then everything is a road trip if you put your mind to it.

Murray Edwards was telling the truth when he said he'd move the team.

Maybe they won't come back if they find a free arena they really like over there.

Most recently, the track record of teams who play overseas at the beginning of the season is actually very good:

· In 2009 the Penguins won the Stanley Cup after playing games in Finland and Sweden that season.
· In 2010 the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup after playing games in Switzerland and Finland that season.
· In 2011 the Bruins won the Stanley Cup and the Sharks played six games in the Conference finals. They both played games in Czechia, Sweden and Germany that season.
· In 2012 the Kings won the Stanley Cup and the Rangers played six games in the Conference finals. They both played games in Sweden and Germany that season.
