Jer15 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Two all star teams? Why even have 8 teams at all? If you want full NHL rosters then just go with the 6 teams.Exactly!!6 teams, play each team once, top four move on to a semi final, then finals (which apparently is going to be a best-of-3). Done. If the NHL really wants, they could develop a "B" tournament where the bottom team in the "A" tournament gets swapped out the next time it's contested with the winner of the "B" tournament. I mean, if they actually are trying to grow the sport world-wide like they claim they are.

goalieboy82 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 i think there should be a real world cup of hockey have 16 teams in it (with every iihf nation being able to play in it). would have it in the usa and canada (they would qualify automatically) and would have the rest of the top 8 ranked iihf teams (at the time) automatically qualify for it and the rest must qualify for. would be the years of the summer olympics.

Still MIGHTY Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 i think there should be a real world cup of hockey have 16 teams in it (with every iihf nation being able to play in it). would have it in the usa and canada (they would qualify automatically) and would have the rest of the top 8 ranked iihf teams (at the time) automatically qualify for it and the rest must qualify for. would be the years of the summer olympics.First, you basically describes how the Olympics already works. Congratulations.Second, to the bolded part, that's just it, it's not an IIHF event. It's a NHL/NHLPA event.

Cosmic Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 The Las Vegas ticket drive... will rely heavily on chain letters, apparently:Organizers were initially hoping to identify 50 such leaders who would be known as the Founding 50. Response was so good they have now rebranded the group as the Founding 75, with upwards of 80 core members having agreed to reach out and find 60 other individuals who will commit to making a down payment on season tickets, multiple sources told ESPN.com. http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/_/id/34100/potential-las-vegas-owners-get-strong-response-to-ticket-drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Apparently he covered the Perds for The Tennessean and then got fired because they didn't want to cover the Perds anymore when they could be covering college football instead. I suppose I'd be bitter about cities whose newspapers don't fire their NHL beat writers, too. But man, what an awful column. Punctuation is a mess, rhetorically he's all over the place, he contradicts himself in numerous spots, and my favorite: describing prodigies' skills as "prodigious."
