I want to hear some feedback from some NHL fans with regards to the NHL expanding to Las Vegas. I think it's a horrible idea and will result similarly to the Arizona Coyotes and Florida Panthers franchises. I can't see how there is a large market for professional hockey in Vegas but maybe I'm wrong.
As a Canadian who thoroughly enjoys the game I'm annoyed by Gary Bettman and his efforts to push the game in the southern US. Quebec City and the GTA (greater Toronto area) could easily support a team but have been ignored. I thought if Vegas was given a team so would Quebec city but I haven't read anything about the NHL creating two new teams. That means an NHL with 31 teams.
There's a good reason Bettman gets booed every year when he presents the cup.
