All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Well, if the NHL expands...don't look for Toronto to get another team

Then again, wags would say "Toronto actually needs a team first before they get a SECOND team".
There was talk sometime ago that a new arena would be built in the Toronto suburb of Markham. But it looks like that plan is about to be torpedoed before a shovel is even put into the ground....

I'd take a Quebec expansion team over Detroit in the div in a heartbeat.
But the NHL shouldn't be thinking expansion. They should be thinking relocation.
with the 16/14 format, the idea is clearly to eventually be 16/16. quebec and seattle seem like the best bets. ive even heard whispers of a seattle team NEXT year.

Bettman's a moron. The league is watered down as it is and teams like Pheonix, Carolina and the Florida teams can't draw. I know they want the conferences to be even but the much smarter thing would be to move a couple of those teams to cities that give a **** about hockey.

the phx situation is messed up. the city pays for the losses the team nets. tax payer money.
seattle and quebec are next. my thinking is, if quebec gets a team, detroit goes back west.
According to Mitch Levy, a talk show host for Seattle radio station KJR, Bettman is pushing for an expansion team that would begin play in the city in the 2014-15 season. Levy reported via Twitter on Tuesday that Bettman is "encouraging" the NHL's Board of Governors to grant Seattle a franchise. KeyArena would have to host an NHL team until a new downtown arena is built in Seattle. (AP Photo)
Expansion, though, is far from a sure thing. There at least two big contingencies, according to Levy: finding a solid ownership group and maintaining progress on the construction of a new arena in downtown Seattle near Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field. http://www.sportingnews.com/nhl/stor...d-of-governors

Let's HOPE that Seattle doesn't stay long at KeyArena if the NHL comes. That arena already caused one hockey team to get out of town(the WHL's Seattle Thunderbirds decamped for the suburb of Kent because, quite frankly, the renovations that made it more palatable for the Sonics really stiffed the T-Birds).

that was by design. the owner (allen?) didnt want the possibility of a competing NHL team coming into key arena. if seattle was announced to get an NBA or NHL team tonight? shovels would be in the ground minutes later. they are starving.
NHL Expansion? ... 32 teams, 90 reg games, 24 playoff teams, Stanley Cup finals in August ... can't wait
it wont go up past 84 games (where it was prior to the 94 lockout).. and my guess is thats even a long shot. but 32 teams seems to be the cap where the NHL wants to be.
