Honestly I’m just hoping for a NYR-LA final. Getting the two biggest cities in the US interested in hockey would be great. Knowing the NHL’s luck, it will be a PHX-NJ final (not taking anything away from those two teams, they just don’t have the media draw).
No doubt. Hockey is, IMHO, the best sport and anything that would help get people interested would be great.
Commissioner Buttman will no doubt ensure a New York-LA final. Besides, the thought of him handing the trophy to the Devils in Newark after his screw job of them for the Kovalchuk deal must keep him up at night. He’s the worst thing to happen to the game since....ever.
Well the NJD are in the same TV market as the Rangers, and with both LA hoops teams gone, this will still be good for the sport. I was hoping for Rangers Kings too but this ain't bad.
