NHL 2015, Part 3: Stanley Cup and Offseason

Screw Quebec. They already have the Yankees of the NHL there in Montreal, let them be happy with that. Maybe they can have the Panthers in a few years.

If the league is serious about expansion, they need to discuss evening out the conferences by adding two teams in the west. If that means admitting Vegas now, and playing with unbalanced divisions while hoping Seattle joins later, then so be it. I don't think Kansas City is knocking on the NHL's door, and with the exception of Portland (where it seems zero ownership interest has been expressed), most other cities of consequence within the Western footprint are either not big enough for the N, or have little to no potential for sustaining decent attendance.

The counter is to butt**** the Jackets and Wings and shove them back west.

Yeah, I know. I have a feeling that's going to happen anyway if Quebec 2.0 gets added rather than re-located. So like I said, fvck them.

Who wants to watch the most 90's video ever?

Fox's opening from the playoffs in '95.

This is amazing, they need to preserve this in a museum.

I seriously checked my calendar to see if it was 4/1. Just an unbelievable move.

Let's have a golf clap for the 'Yotes everyone!

On the plus side, I guess this puts an end as to where the Desert Hockey "Classic" will be played this January?

“Termination Date” means June 30, 2017.

So... Seattle/KC gets a team in the 17-18 season?

If it had been one year, everyone else in Quebec/Vegas would have waited out the Coyote implosion and saved tens of millions.

Johnny Quick gives a breakdown of some elite forwards in the league and how they are so dangerous to a team. Pretty solid read.

I hate Quick, but I love these Players' Tribune pieces.

Agreed, I enjoy the vast majority that I read. Kudos to Jeter for founding the idea and giving these athletes a place to put their thoughts out there directly.

As for balancing the conferences, I read a commentary recently that Saskatoon could support a team just as the Peg does. Too bad the arena only seats around 10K.

What about a little south of Saskatoon?
