The Northeast is still digging out after a major snowstorm dumped over a foot of snow in many areas Sunday and Monday. The NFL saw fit to postpone Sunday's Vikings-Eagles game, which will be played Tuesday night in Philadelphia. However, two NHL games in the area on Sunday went on as scheduled.

Montreal played the New York Islanders on Long Island, and the New Jersey Devils hosted Toronto. Fans stayed away in droves, with the two announced crowds falling short of 9,000 combined.

While all the players on the home teams were able to get to the arenas, some of them didn't make it home as easily. That's left some to wonder why the games weren't postponed.
