With NBC a part of the show, it was either going to be the Flyers or the Rangers.

I was hoping it would be Pens/Flyers at Beaver Stadium in Penn State. It would by far be the highest attended NHL game in history.

There's been talk of doing it at Ohio State as well...Blue Jackets vs. Red Wings.

That would be neat. After Buster Douglas upset Mike Tyson in 1990 there was some talk of a Douglas fight in Ohio Stadium.
