a completely unrealistic and impossible way to save the NHL

[BowToYourSensei]

i thought this would be a good idea. many will probably find it stupid.

1. tar and feather gary bettman
2. drag him through the streets of winnipeg on the back of a zamboni
3. move atlanta, st. louis, phoenix, carolina, nashville and columbus to quebec, vancouver, toronto (if NY can have 2 teams, toronto and vancouver should too), winnipeg, hamilton, and london.
4. contract florida and washington
5. reassign the 28 teams into a canadian conference of 14 teams and an american conference of 14 teams.
6. reduce schedule to 70 games.
7. american teams only play american, canadian only plays canadian save for an 8 game "interleague" period.
8. stanley cup finals = canadian conference champion vs american conference champion
9. ?????????
10. profit

[BowToYourSensei]

my bad, meant to put halifax...either probably aren't the best markets, but they can't possibly be worse than miami [censored] florida

Please add Moose Jaw and Medicine Hat to your list of Canadian cities getting NHL franchises.

[ClarkNasty]

No moving St Louis, it's been a good hockey town for a long time.

[MicroBob]

Also, please trade the Ducks and Kings franchises so that you have:
Mighty Kings of Anaheim
Los Angeles Ducks

Also: The NY Rangers and NY Islanders trade arenas.

I think that was titled "we give up our TV contract and cancel the Stanley Cup".
