More Bettman Idiocy
Jun 8, 2007 NHL
Despite low ratings for the Stanley Cup finals, teams in non-traditional markets with terrible attendance, and recent bad memories of a lockout, Gary Bettman wants to expand the NHL into two more markets. Kansas City and Las Vegas are both in the running for a 31st and 32nd team. Which is AWESOME, I mean really, who doesn’t think of Vegas and KC when thinking hockey, right? Never mind that the city of Nashville may have to buy up unsold tickets for the Preds next year thanks to a clause in their deal about attendance (averaging under 14k). That’s assuming that Balsillie doesn’t move them to Ontario. Never mind that Carolina had problems selling out their building in the playoffs last year. Can my favorite sport please stop being a laughingstock now?
