While Rogers and Canadian hockey fans cry in their beers, it’s parity on at NHL headquarters Globe_Sports
The Rogers Media bosses believe as an Original Six team the Bruins have the most fan interest across Canada among those left in the hunt.In the world of the NHL it seems there is great unhappiness with this year’s wild and wacky playoffs.
However, despite the breast-beating across Canada and certain U.S. cities, there is much happiness in the NHL head office in New York. It would not be surprising if the mood in NHL commissioner Gary Bettman’s office is downright giddy. Last year was a start when the Washington Capitals won their first Cup after years of falling short. This year is paradise for Bettman because even better than seeing all those darkhorses in the second round is that a lot of them are teams from shaky markets that are always found in the bottom third of the NHL’s attendance charts.
But those who do not share Cherry’s world view argue the victory routines, which drew lots of looks on YouTube, exposed the team and the league to a whole new audience. The move to Barclays, which was not built to accommodate hockey and has thousands of seats with obstructed views, was doomed from the start. The Nassau Coliseum was finally renovated but as a much smaller venue. It holds only 13,900 for hockey, which does not meet NHL standards.
