Why not? Why can't they? It's a sporting venue. It hosted football. Hell the place has hosted rock concerts before, why not hockey?

the last sporting event played in historic yankee stadium is going to be a professional hockey game?

say that out loud a few times. maybe the absurdity will sink in. its the fact that its the LAST game.

Yankees make the series, hit a walk offf home run in game 7 againt the mets, become world champions, and then the last game played on that historic site is a fucking hockey game?

For real?

whats the difference? you could play baseball in the middle of a hockey game and no one would notice because its so fucking boring.

hahahaha hockey is far more boring IMO! what the purpose of watching a puck continously go up and down the ice with it going in the net 1 or 2 times out of 20. too many pointless rules.....

the average game time for a regular season game was 2:50 minutes.

oh! another reason why hockey sucks, SHOOTOUTS! what a demoralizing way to end a game. OT till someone scores would be far more entertaining.

I will never understand that argument. I paid to be there....take 9 hours. besides, if its something you like to do (watch a game), why would you want it to go by faster? people say the same about football...lets speed it up. why?

amen brother.

imagine a football game decided by field goals in overtime...by that I mean each kicker gets to kick 5 and whoever makes the most wins? how silly is that?

listen, I am not saying these figure skaters arent talented, its simply a game of chaos where eventually someone gets lucky and scores. baseball is hardly that.

well it s the end of the game and those people are hockey fans. im glad its like that in the playoffs but if they are gonna use shootouts during the regular season, make em longer. its like BAM! done over with.

im just saying baseball can be very very slow at times
in terms of times of games

granted the 1-0 shutout will be played quick but an american league game with 40 hits and 12 pitching changes and and .... it gets old


fact is the hockey fans will argue till were blue in the face and vice versa

its really a waste of time

whatever floats your boat enjoy

i will say this hockey players are by far the toughest in any sport in the world
