Bob Mckenzie has an interesting article up on Brian Burke lobbying to have the width of the rink expanded to 90 feet.

"Brian and I are big proponents of the 90-foot-wide ice surface," said Jimmy Devellano, the longtime Red Wing senior vice-president. "I really believe it will help the NHL game with more flow, less congestion and maybe even a few less injuries.
"In Detroit, when we get our new rink, we'll have the capability to go to 90 feet,' Devellano added.
