4EverRangerFrank Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 PIT and PHI are behind us and our goal differential is better. 1. Do those teams suck too? 2. Do their coaches need to be relieved of their duties? 3. Are those teams playing ?soft? and have little to no passion? I?m asking because maybe this is the downside of a parity league. Teams are diluted to the point of general mediocrity. And the NHL wants to expand further still? Buttman & Co. may realize this and are intentionally holding back. IDk what?s the answer anymore. The game may be in a state of peril and the NYR are being swept up in the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EverRangerFrank Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 ;908523]Parity* Thank you. This is also ?almost just like hockey? is supposed to be played commentary too. [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Why would the Rangers be getting swept up? Since the cap, it's been a "top heavy teams win" league. But it's not a guarantee. Boston, Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh, they win some and lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Parity prevails in most sports, nowadays. The leagues want all teams to be competitive against each other on any given day. TV $$$$$ is the engine driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I?m puzzled that more standout talent isn?t ?out there? (world wide) to help roster a couple of more expansion teams, I would guess that the elaborate scouting systems would have rooted out those players by now.

4EverRangerFrank Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 With hockey being at 4% of sports fans interest level, that TV $$$ won?t be flooding the coffers anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
