    MSG was completely refurbished with virtually no downtime. Study how modern ice plants are designed. They're not as difficult to expand as you might think -- i.e., don't require a complete gut job to existing plants. If you don't buy my rationale re why the NHL won 't go to the large surface, then try this on for size: hockey on NHL-sized rinks is more entertaining. Not convincied? Did you watch the world championship? How does it compare to the NHL playoffs? Not very well IMO.

    Piffle. If they can build an ice surface in a bloody baseball/football stadium inside of a week (look up "NHL winter classic" in Wikipedia if you don't believe me) they can expand an existing NHL rink without too much trouble. The reason it won't happen is because too many teams are built for the smaller surface -- especially teams like Boston, Philly, and Toronto whose owners wield the most power at the governors table. Until they have teams suited to the big ice, it ain't happening.

    Reminder, Memorial Cup starts tonite. A chance to see Habs prospects Darren Dietz and Dalton Thrower in action. Their game is on Sportsnet at 8:00 Eastern. Edit: I see commandant already sounded the alert on this.
  • Comment on Size isn't a problem with Habs, Plekanec says
    Missed the Sens/Pens (!) game last night. Heard MacLean say on the radio this morning that his team wasn't "hard enough" in the Pens "end" and that the Pens were "harder" in the Sens end. Um, did they play a hockey game out there or what??

    Bergeron on Anti-Chambre accuses Price of faking injury. Unbelievable.
