The best games that didn't count

For homer reasons the Kings vs the Rangers outside in Vegas with 100 degree weather has to be one of my favorite preseason games.
The Vegas story is a great story, because win or lose you still win," Vanbiesbrouck said of the game.” It was fun and it was a great experience. There were hundreds of them (grasshoppers) on the ice. It was like the desert was throwing grasshoppers on the ice and they couldn't move. Once they hit the ice, they couldn't hop anywhere, so we just swept them off to the side. Gretzky looked like he came in on a 2-on-1 with one of them. I stopped them.”

this one was in an exhibition game, if i recall correctly.
I was there, and it was pretty damned special.

That's why I wasn't a hockey player.

Me too; the refs felt it was unfair that I could play with two sticks.
