    Why the hell are the Caps wearing red pants? They always wore blue pants with the old uniforms. I call bullshit, NHL.

    Incorrect. Their original set from 1974-75:

    In your defense, that was the only year they wore the red pants ... switched to blue for home and road the following season.

    OK, then. Why does the blue Twins '74 style hat with the old school Caps logo say 1976 on the back? Isn't that supposed to be the season the year the team was founded? I'm so confused right now. I almost feel ripped off.

    That's what I thought. I still think it's stupid they are wearing red pants. One season is not a heritage.

    The scene is spectacular. Here's betting future games get scheduled for prime time.

    Is there a plan for 2012 yet? How about Montreal vs. NYR at the new Giants Stadium?

    They might have to have the Devils involved to play it in NJ. But new Yankee Stadium or Citi Field could work.

    Citi seems more likely. Can't disrupt the Pinstripe Bowl, after all.

    They're playing YYZ at the game after the Caps goal. Awesome.
