Why Doesn't the NHL Do More Outdoor Games?

The NHL is going to have another outdoor game as a New Year's Day special between the Buffalo Sabres and Pittsburgh Penguins.

I am excited for this game because it could be an excuse to get tickets to one of these events. I am contemplating on whether I should get a ticket as the Edmonton/Montreal heritage classic was very exciting.

My only problem is that a game being played outdoors shouldn't be news.

Hockey is an outdoor game and the outdoor games people are excited to go. A team should host an outdoor game once a year due to the money it brings in and it's exciting for the crowd to see a winter sport played out doors.

Why haven't the Maple Leafs played in Roger's Centre yet? It would sell out with 50,000 fans and with a retractable roof it wouldn't be a concern with bad weather conditions.

Outdoor games would save the NHL if they used it more often.
