that is true
what is also true is there is no shortage of questionable management in the NHL management
by that I mean Bettman, Daly, Campbell, Parros
the NHL has been trying to sell and create parity for years
and what we are seeing now is a pretty watered down product
Can anyone say that the Nashville, StLouis or Dallas games were good hockey?
if Vancouver can beat them with 4 AHL defenseman and 5 AHL forwards,
it is not only an indictment of those teams, but of the NHL as well
meanwhile there are 6-8 teams that are actually playing for the cup every year
Try as they might, the NHL has failed to make parity anything more than a catchphrase
