just my 2 cents.

edit:

if they did i think they should just go straight into the format and not even play the 28 games. if each series would be the standard 7 games it could be a long time depending on how many games it takes for teams to win.

new york has three teams, remember. Buffalo, nyi, and nyr.


as for the others commenting about expansion teams not hurting the league well it goes like this: its been projected that even with a cap teams like: phoenix, florida, carolina, anaheim, nashville, ottowa, buffalo and maybe even san jose could go under even WITH a salary cap. stop for a second, and look at all of those teams outside of buffalo and ottowa, what do they have in common? they have no business being in hockey.
