From Ottawa, here come the Senators!

GS Warehouse:
I'm watching the hockey game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators, and just as they returned from commercial, I heard the theme from The Newlywed Game playing on the Corel Center sound system.  I know the MG and TPiR themes come up a lot on radio lately, but I don't get the correlation between hockey and Bob Eubanks. :-)

 Five to one odds someone proposed to a prospective wife at the game.  I've seen a similar gimmick at pretty much every level of professional hockey I've attended.

They also could have done a Newlywed-Game type gimmick during a play stoppage or intermission. The Sharks do a coupld of game show ripoffs, including TPiR and MG, they also do a bit called \"Higher Or Lower\", where they poll 100 Sharks fans with some Shark-centric question, one player makes a guess, and the other decides whether the actual result is Higher, or, alternately, Lower than the actual amount. Sound familiar? :)

 The minor league hockey team in my city has an annual Valentine's Day game.  On two of those games, there was a wedding at intermission.

ObGameShow: They didn't play the NG theme, though.

DrBear:
Or they could be doing the \"kiss cam\" during a break - showing couples on the scoreboard and urging them to kiss. The inevitable \"big finish\" is when they show two guys, and hilarty ensues.

JayC:
they play the Final Jeopardy think music during a time out a Nets games, but otherwise, no GS stuff for the Devils or Nets :(
