The NHL needs the Penguins to be winning championships to lift itself out of the doldrums . Don't deny it.

SERGIO!!!!

hockey needs to realize it's a regional sport and contract a few teams

a bit of both but basically anaheim just shut them down. great defence and very physical

best team won

i couldnt agree with you more and i have been saying it for years. 30 teams is just too many. drop it down to around 24.

but actually right now theres talk about 2 expansion teams within a few years.... Vegas and Kansas City. i was just watching(like 5 mins ago) a sports show on tv where they were talking about it and the hosts say its likely a done deal.

There's serious dilution in all major sports, to greater extents in some. Hopefully, eventually they'll get the message to reduce the numbers but the incentives seem to be in the opposite direction.

Seems Ottawa doesn't have the killer instinct, from day one as a team. In order to improve they'll either have to toughen up or get so much better talent-wise that it won't matter.
