BTW if you have ever seen me post regarding the CBJs you know I didnt intend my comments to be a slight against them, I mean't strictly as geographic rivals CBJ Vs. RW's makes more sense, I am just pissed that Baloo can't see the opportunity in growing the game in America by utilizing an AMERICAN Team vs. a CANADIAN team. There Baloo I spelled it out, for casual jingoistic American fans this might be viewed ala Vancouver winter olympics USA Vs. Canada (still the highest rated hockey game on U.S. soil unless i am mistaken)

And I pointed out that this is an American event. I have no problem with Toronto being in it. In fact, I'm glad. I even suggested having the Habs play in Yankee Stadium, so I'm clearly not opposed to it.

but Canadian fans have been extraordinarily bitchy about being shut out of the Winter Classic, when it is incredibly obvious why it is so. It's not a big deal that there hasn't been a Canadian team. I also think Canada should continue things like the Heritage Classic, which was awesome.

And nothing could make me pull for the Rangers - not even a US-Canada matchup.
