On Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:54:26 -0700 (PDT), NowIn my opinion, hockey
needs to pulll back to the original 16
teams - 20 max. Seriously, who needs hockey in Arizona? Or Los
Angeles?

Until the expansion in 1967 there were 6 teams in the original NHL ;-


Now that was hockey. None of this namby, pamby diluted B.S. Six teams:

Chicago (my home town)

Blackhawks.

Boston

Bruins

Detroit

Red Wings

NY

Rangers

Montreal

Les Canadiens de Montréal - who suck - damned Frenchies.

Toronto

Maple Leafs who don't suck because their official name is in English.

Another sport ruined by expansion.

Well, I can honestly say that the original six teams were helped by
some expansion - adding Pittsburgh and Phildelphia didn't hurt the
league at all. I thought bringing it up to ten teams was a good idea
actually.

And there should have been two more Canadian teams to bring the league
up to some kind of national parity.
