the league still doesn't have a clue..now fans in vancouver get to see the leafs and canadians once EVERY THREE YEARS....yeah..that makes sense...we'd much rather see columbus....what a friggin' joke...i guess all the habs and leaf fans in vancouver mean shit to the league, and the fans in vancouver that like those intense games..ahh..who cares....the league can spout off bullshit like "we're going to build rivalries" and all that, which to a point is true..but isn't it cool to have rivalies with teams in your own friggin' country..one more example of how this league could give two craps about canada....

Yeah, so. LEafs and Habs play eight times now, I'd take that over seeing the Leafs and canucks any day. No offence to the canucks, i am a big fan of vancouver. But if you live in toronto or Montreal you know how big a deal it is when these teams get together. Geez even toronto fans show emotion when the habs come to town.

Bettman isn't going anywhere, he'll end up getting a raise, he got the deal the league needed done. Now they just need to shuffle a few of the small market U.S. teams back up here to Canada.

bettman is not bringing any teams to canada....and your attitude sums it up...the east counts...the west doesn't....don't you agree that all canadian hockey fans should stick together??vancouver needs to see the habs and leafs more then once every three years..it makes no sense...and there's a shit load of emotion in the crowd when either one of those teams hits gm place....
