Five highlights from Gary Bettman's State of the League address

[DetDannyWilliams]

PITTSBURGH — It was Olympics — not NHL expansion — that drew the most attention as NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman gave his annual State of the League address

1. Bettman goes cold on Olympics
2. No expansion answers
3. Three is company
4. No World Cup for Voynov
5. The coach’s challenge works

I'm all for getting the NHL out of the Olympics.

Three-on-three sucks though.

Sounds like expansion to Vegas is legit

So he ducks the expansion question and his "answers" on the other questions are essentially exactly what we already knew.

I think he ducked it because they are trying to keep a secret to not overshadow the finals.

Ugh...just got back from there. Spent a day in Vegas after hiking out of the Grand Canyon. What an utter ****hole.

And we saw this...the "pride" of Buffalo...the famous Scintas...staging theeir comeback in Sin City. Looks like they've replaced my wife's old schoolmate Chrissi.
