This year, the NHL is hosting a heritage game in Calgary, I think (double check my source).  If I read the article correctly, the former all stars and hall of famers in the NHL will be playing in those games.  This got me thinking of an idea, involving the NY Rangers and the rest of the Atlantic Division.

Just a thought... wouldn't it be cool if the Rangers, Devils, Islanders, Flyers, and Penguins played an Old Timers game against one another? The teams would be composed of former players who are retired or in the hall of fame.  Fans can see their past favorite players play again against old foes.

What I would like to see personally, for example, is a heritage game between former Rangers and former Devils.  If this idea was to work, I feel like the games can be hosted at the Garden and draw more publicity.  It doesn't have to be outdoors, unless one of those teams besides Pittsburgh is hosting the Winter Classic.  That would be sick.  If it does work, these can be the rosters...
