News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2023-24

I believe that NHL execs wanted Arizona, because they believed that the retired Canucks there, would be a strong base. It's just not happening. Seems like 'big money' doesn't think Arizona is a worthwhile investment.

I agree with the league. Move on to better places. Fans of Arizona might be ok with following a team that is so far away. I've been a big fan of the Isles for the past 49 years, and I live in Niagara Falls Canada. It was tough when I was young, because coverage was practically non-existent. With the current plethora of information out there now, it is not hard to be a distant fan. I feel for them, but I would rather have a stronger team in the league.

If the choice is MSG (and an inevitable Rangers gig) vs TNT, not seeing how TNT is more lucrative. Like I said, he can continue doing national gigs as well...

Would like to see more of Hickey. I guess he is more a color guy than play by play. For Burke, Yankee radio has a certain amount cache to it. That would be something.

Delay of game penalty by Chicago on a Dobson-like brain fart by Chicago up by 1 w/1:30 to go in game. Ducks already beat Vegas, so Vegas lost its destiny. If Kings tie, they move 3 spot to face EDM, if they don’t score and Chicago wins, then Vegas plays EDM. Kings score, Vegas now plays Dallas and EDM play LAK.

Will be interesting if that play has an impact on how the seeding goes rest of the way for the West. EDM now has an easier path, that’s for sure.

I think Hickey is better than tv. He should be given a management position and trained for the front office. He has a good head for the game.

Over/under the Sabres make the playoffs and the Devils do not next year?
