The pop singer issued a statement Saturday reflecting his role in the scheduling of the teams' playoff series. Yanni's concert at the Penguins' Mellon Arena on Tuesday night is the reason the NHL put Game 4 on Friday in Pittsburgh and Game 5 in Washington on Saturday -- a back-to-back scenario that neither team likes.

Yanni didn't express apologies or regrets. He instead cited his experience "as a former national champion swimmer" for native country Greece.

"I empathize with the athletes competing in the NHL playoffs and understand the pressures under which they perform," the statement said.

Early in the series, Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said it was "a shame" that the teams were forced to play back-to-back games, calling it "bad for the league, both fan bases and for the players."

For his part, Yanni thanked all involved -- particularly the Mellon Arena -- for "recognizing the importance of presenting the highest quality sports and entertainment to the fans of the city of Pittsburgh."

Wow! Canes have looked very good. I have to admit, though, after Game One I was worried...a lot. I know it is not over, but here's hoping that the Canes can keep up the intensity.

Jr and I went out and got a S video cable. With a little work we can now watch the Red Wing game on the TV fed from the laptop.

Website used is www.channelsurfing.net

Jr has been a Red Wing fan his entire life so setting this up brought a big smile to his face.

That makes me happy.

Getting psyched for our Hurricane's Party at a friend's house tonight... 16 of us 'Canes Fans will be getting together to watch game 5. Would love to be in Boston for this one.

LET'S GO 'CANES!!!

icehog3 · 05-10-2009, 04:21 PM

Let's Go Wings and 'Canes!

Sorry Paul.

jonharky · 05-10-2009, 05:35 PM

jonharky · 05-10-2009, 07:12 PM

icehog3 · 05-10-2009, 08:54 PM

Congrats to the Wings fans!

Bruins came to play tonight....don't think they can do this well 3 games in a row though. We shall see.

Bruins Fan · 05-10-2009, 09:17 PM

That's the kind of hockey the Bruins need to play.
The Canes better wear their big boy pants Tuesday the cheap shots , and sucker punch wont be forgotten.

It would be a lot smarter for the Bruins to play another game like they played tonight, and not look for payback/retaliation. Good way to be golfing Wednesday.
