00:00
And what's your reaction to what I just said to you in the break that I thought they should have played at it
00:04
Next week at the world's most famous not at the garden in in Boston to me the old
00:10
Boston Garden was better than I mean obviously the new buildings nicer, but the old Boston Garden was like the Montreal Forum
00:16
It was a special place and so was Chicago Stadium way cooler than the United Center
00:23
I thought they should have had this event next week in New York to be honest with you
00:27
Well, there's different reasons why they don't
00:30
scheduling conflicts cost
00:33
Expenses they wanted it to be they needed they needed two quick cities that were close to each other
00:38
So, you know you could mix and match it could have been a few cities
00:42
You know could have been Toronto Toronto in New York or Toronto in Detroit or whatnot
00:47
You know, I think Scott's sort of better in cities
00:50
it just would have been an afterthought in New York right at least you know in Boston and
00:55
I get it. I totally agree with you MSG is MSG, but
01:01
Boston as a whole is a better hockey city than New York is
01:04
It's a better college hockey town. It's not a better
01:09
That's over all those Scott. That's what I'm saying. Like say it's a it's a hockey rabid city
01:14
I know the Rangers are
01:18
Bigger people realize actually I think from the outside looking in but
01:22
You know certain cities like Boston was a good fit for
01:25
With the USA stuff and you know, the USA hockey a lot of connections
01:30
And it's super close to Montreal was back and forth and listen, you know, we could pick let's say I'll put it this way
01:38
Nobody really cared where this tournament was before now. It's like oh, well, I should have been here and it should have been there
01:44
It's like well, okay. So now people actually care and they see it's good. They're gonna be doing a World Cup next Scott
01:51
So I'm gonna give credit to the NHL for this because they didn't tell us do anything right basically off the ice
01:55
Like they they don't know how to market their league. They they don't they don't do a lot of wealth good thing. So
02:01
Props to them for figuring this out. All right, they did this little for thing and now let's just be real. It's cool
02:07
But what about Russia? What about the Czech Republic? What about all these other like cocky him the MVP?
02:14
Yeah, because we are dry side. Oh, he's not even in the tournament because his country's not there
02:18
Well, we can say best on best is Ovechkin there no
02:22
so what Russians are pretty good at hockey, so
02:25
Now they're gonna do like the World Baseball Classic. Basically. They're setting it up every every two years is going to be an international
02:32
Tournament now with pro players
02:34
They're gonna do the Olympics every year every four years and they're gonna do what they're gonna call a World Cup of hockey
02:40
They announced yesterday every two years eight countries or more
02:44
So it'll start to expand and now Scott my point is they told cities you want in on this
02:50
Tell us bid on it. So there it is
02:53
You know, they don't even interested in hosting this did Dolan really care
03:00
Listen I don't think Dolan's stupid. There's one thing people hate Dolan, but he's he's a he's a moneymaker and
03:06
You know, but Scott that's the point he runs everything
03:10
He's a bad-ass people. There's no like Philly. You're not filling up Madison Square Garden, bro for a Finland and a Sweden game
03:17
Are you know Dolan's not enough to realize this isn't big enough for my venue?
