Gary Bettman and NHL Unhappy Over Expansion Turnout.

[Rock Strongo]

I agree completely. Cannot wait until the NHL stops with the garbage outdoor games.

in LA?

yes.

in boston, buffalo, etc?

no way.

 

[Comeds]

Dumb. Players are used to certain aspects of an indoor court. A backdrop. Lights. No breeze or elements. Pointless effort in futility to try and play like that. Gimmicky.

It doesn't matter where it is. Your reasons for disliking the basketball game apply to the outdoor games as well. Terrible gimmick that exposes a larger audience to a much slower , sloppier NHL product.
But it's outside! And time lapse video of the rink being built!

no, they dont apply. why?

i say so.

outdoor organized basketball on an aircraft carrier doesnt happen nearly as often as say...i dunno...pond hockey...i.e outdoors.

so...try again with something better.

I'm just looking forward to the first ever underground cave hockey game.

I don't really mean to argue with you, just against the outdoor games so I probably should have said "To me your reasons for disliking the basketball game apply to the outdoor games as well.".

They are just gimmicky garbage. Might as well watch an NFL game played on the beach.

And when a NHL star* gets a serious injury in sloppy conditions then the NHL may rethink the whole thing.


*an average player? The NHL wont care at all.

Crosby/Fehr injury but that wasn't because of sloppy conditions....

I think the NHL would need a Bane-like interruption for there to be indoor only games.

Reports swirling that Quebec City was rejected for expansion. NHL has issued a denial.

Reports are also swirling that Bill Foley is not happy about how long the NHL is taking regarding his Las Vegas expansion bid.

lol - Well, the mob is no longer in Vegas, but I kinda like what you have suggested there, BBB.

I am hearing that the secret bid from Santa Fe is really impressing the league.

It wouldn't surprise me with Bettman. I don't think he personally favours Canadian expansion. He's looking at TV markets and warmer climates.

And then......

Personally, I'm okay with the delays/rejections. Grants more of a chance Milwaukee will get a chance.

 

[tducey]

Hopefully expansion to Quebec City goes through but the NHL has to do this right. I think that they may reset it for now and start it over in the summer. Hopefully Vegas doesn't get a franchise before a lot of more deserving cities.
