First and foremost these two games in the new Japanese Market are an amazing outreach that the league can do.  But secondly the fact that we were able to get onto one of the heralded Japanese Game shows is a whole other level of awesome.  When you are able to watch teammates try and use blow dart guns to try and pop balloons, that will then empty vats of chocolate over the suspecting coaches of the teams, it is something to behold.  It is one thing to see random people doing crazy things, it's a completely other thing watching big bearly players with beards, muscles, missing teeth, doing all of the same things.  The best part is just how much the different the ratings where between games 1 and game 2 of the international series.  Game 2 tripled just because of everyone wanting to tune into the sport after seeing these "crazy hockey players".  Now to see where in the world the next series will be!
