No offense, but what NHL rinks have you played in during your career?
How do you know the ice is bad in every arena? I hear from time to time about bad ice. Unfortunately, in some places in the league, the ice is only going to be so good.. Better in others. Not always bad, everywhere.
Reffing is suspect sometimes, yes. As a coach of BC minor hockey, I get frustrated with inconsistancies the same as anyone else on any level of hockey. As a ref for ISHL (military hockey league), we try our best to be consistant but some teams make it very hard to not be bias...
Lastly, the guys are so big nowadays compared to the 70's and 80's that there is alot less room on the ice for the wheeling and dealing river hockey. Solution to this, make the ice surface bigger or limit the size of player allowed to play. I dont see either happening...
As for the interview... #### you Bettman! The growth and popularity in the US is going to do his job for him that he should have accomplished 10+ years ago, thats get a MAJOR US network deal. Not this once a weekend, 1 game on NBC.. It will happen eventually, with Bettman at the helm or not. But he will take full credit for it im sure.
What needs to be sorted are the absolutely stupid out of area blackouts on sportsnet so I can watch a damn Flames game.
