No, it's not going to happen. At least not yet. But I think it would be neat to have the two franchises born in Minnesota play each other outdoors at Target Field. Your thoughts?
ESPN.com is reporting that the NHL will announce two outdoor games for next season on Friday.
Washington vs. Pittsburgh will be played at Heinz Field on Jan. 1, something the league has done with great success the last few years. But they will also have Montreal play Calgary in Calgary sometime in February.
It's one thing to have the Jan. 1 outdoor game. But are two outdoor games pushing it? Or because that second game is in Canada, will it work just as well?
