Join the real world you old farts. Keep licking your 16 cent stamps and recall the glory days. Wnd up your Victorolas and stretch that string between the tin cans linking you up with the farm next door. Tell Dudley Do Right that Nell is now a stripper in Vegas, riding in James Neal’s Ferrari.

skinnycat until there is a professional canadian league it will all just be orchestrated bullshitt. The talent level would not be the same obviously but all the arenas would be full so there would be no need to direct winning towards a certain region or city, there would be interest everywhere and no need to desperately try to grow the game anywhere through the manipulation of teams success and games themselves, The winning of the championships would be pure like the NHL was decades ago. I would be a loyal fan of the league and attend their games and buy their merchandise and give them all my support, I imagine there would be no instigator rule and the players would police themselves, because there would no need to try and control the games as much through referees. One can only dream......
Hey that might work but it does sound a lot like the CFL. I like the CFL so it not a slam against anything, it is what it is.

Are you living in the real world. Nancy.?..Or is it Hillary.?. Seriously...
Seriously? So I have watched you cry many times on this site that teams in all sports are getting special treatment many times and that it is being skewed for certain teams to win, you have sworn to it after watching games so what gives. That si only when something does not go your way? When someone suggest a team you are supporting is getting the benefit of bias from the officials all of a sudden something that you say happens all the time is suddenly crazy?? How does that work. We are on the internet and can't get our hands on one another so no point throwing names and insults, it's weak, nothing can be done through the computer screen. If you are standing in front of me then call me names otherwise it's just weak right? So tell me seriously how does that work that you say so much is fake bullshitt but then all of a sudden it is selective when you are benefiting from it??

It wss a blatent missed call huge swing of momentum. They just call Myers for that interference that's what is so ridiculous. McNabb was interfering with Jet players all game he always had his stick up hooking slashing players. The Jets should have had atleast 3 if not more pps in that game. Vegas deserves to be where there are but they dont nned help by bad calls and missed calls.The crosscheck by the way drew blood which is automatically 4 mins and still with 2 refs and 2 linesman no call. They didn't even see a puck go in for a goal 4 of them. If the NHL doesn't start suspending refs for bad games or fine them at least take them out of the rotation in the playoffs. They make mistakes i understand that but last night they were brutal they both had bad games.

Yup just another option which I think would do well.
Cities that get teams making up 2 conferences east and west
East
Toronto.... north of the city in Markham area
Hamilton
Niagara Falls
Quebec City
Halifax
Kitchener
London
Windsor
Saskatoon or Regina whichever one in Saskatchewan
Victoria
Those 10 the top 6 make the playoffs, the top 2 get a bye, so there would be 2 rounds and then the finals for Polar Bear Cup lol
Ofcourse if they wanted to be brazen, their is a lot of animosity towards the NHL here in Canada so they could attempt in other big cities to do what they would do in Toronto which is put a second team there but that may be risky, they might want to try that after in or around vancouver, montreal, calgary, edmonton etc....
There would not be the same level of talent obviously but there would be talent, there is lots all over the world these days and this league could go back to more throwback NHL rules, a tougher league with no instigator rule where players police themselves like in the old days, nothing too crazy but there would be fighting and you get worked over in front of the net etc....replay would only look at goals, no offside challenges no goalie interference challenges, live with the zebras but it would be rougher and no ticky tacky stuff anyway. They would have to go that way to offer something different but at the same time more like it used to be. I bet they would do well.

if the expansion vegas golden knights win the stanley cup i will stop following and watching and supporting the nhl
So the fact that the expansion gary Golden Knights are going to the Stanley cup finals isn't enough for you to end your support of this façade league? Why do you need to be insulted and humiliated even further? Shut off the TV amigo

PB... I said nowhere here that the NHL at times does not appear slanted... Refs not making the right calls and just ignoring some others... Also said the same thing about all the Major League Sports.
I did say here that from the middle of the 1st period through the end of the game, not one penalty was called on Winnipeg... so to think they played a perfect game is to turn a blind eye to the facts. Which is that the refs in last nights game gave the Jets every opportunity to win... They could not get it done..
Then you come in with another of your diatribes about people who disagree with you are dummies and stupid...
I don’t think you should get personal.. JMO... you can’t state your case without calling people names..? .. Thus the Hillary and Nancy references.. you are looking for every angle to keep a Canadian team in the playoffs despite the facts in last nights game...
I only use names like that to let others know how it feels because it is people on the other side that constantly call people names that suggest their is favoritism in sports so it is more of a how does that feel sorta thing, i thought that was clear but perhaps I overstepped. If you really want to insult me call me kathleen wynne but you wouldn't know who she is which makes you fortunate, cause she is our version of hillary. Making every angle? I am simply pointing out something very obvious, sorry man you don't get to take your stick and try and murder the other teams star with it feet in front of the referee and the events I described there can't be argued in my opinion but hey anyone is welcome to how they view something I just don't see how someone could see those events unfold and not see what is the incredible bias there. The other thing I mentioned was all world player drew doughty being suspended for leaning into a guy while repeat offender tom wilson tried to decapitate two guys and nothing happens until finally after he almost kills a third player all within a week, ya sorry there is something seriously wrong with that picture and it's not an accident that is all calculated obviously for reason, The same men are making these bizaar and unjust decisions for some reason right and none of the latter has to do with Canada. Canadian teams have been getting brutally hosed since bettman took over and I have posted countless replay videos every year in big games involving canadian teams that no one ever tried to argue because they are things that can't be argued with video evidence and they all always go against the same region so that can't be ignored and as you know I do not cheer for a canadian team and also know I despise the habs and leafs so no vested personal interest in that for me.I post things like this Schiefele injustice or the Tom Wilson fiasco once in a while to illuminate what goes on and maybe get frustrated when people can't see or perhaps just deny what to me and some others is so incredibly obvious. Now I am going to go on my deck and barbecue some steaks. Cheers! sorry if any typos.
