NEW YORK RANGERS
- Pros: one of the league's marquee teams
- Cons: aren't allowed to host one
Under normal circumstances, the Broadway Blueshirts would have been
among the first teams chosen to host an NHL outdoor game. The problem:
Their contract with Madison Square Garden prevents them from receiving
income as the home team in any other venue. That’s why they were
eventually designated, in 2014, as the visitors in the back-to-back
games against their local rivals, the New Jersey Devils and New York
Islanders, at Yankee Stadium. Did anyone notice that subtlety? Both
tilts felt like home games.
