Gary Bettman considering changes to Playoff format

Gary Bettman unveiling changes to the
Stanley Cup playoffs format.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced that the league is looking into ways to improve the upcoming Stanley Cup playoffs. "We are always looking at ways to make the experience better for our fans" he says, "and we are confident that we have found a format that will bring in a new generation of hockey fans".

A number of controversial ideas were considered, among them adding pouches of fake blood in player's uniforms that would explode upon contact to add more "pizzazz" when players fight for pucks in the corner.

For the 5th consecutive year, Sabres owner Terry Pegula suggested to relocate all the teams to Florida but was once again unsuccessful in promoting his "Hot, Hotter, Hockey" initiative.

Ultimately, the league as instructed by Gary Bettman decided to go with Gary Bettman's proposal to double the number of teams that qualify for the playoffs from 16 to 32. To overcome the issue of there not being enough teams in the league to fill all the spots in the playoffs the Bruins and the Flyers will both get two spots in the playoffs as a "reward to the best fan bases in hockey". To keep the playoffs from running too long, the games will be expended to feature 4 teams per game, played in an exciting new cross configuration ice surface. Each team will defend one goal and can score in any of the remaining three nets. In an effort to increase scoring, a 2 minute penalty will be assessed to a goaltender who makes a save.

    I personally feel that these changes would make the game of hockey much more fun and exciting. These rules should be imported into all forms of hockey.

Johan Larsson won last years most accurate shot competition The Buffalo Sabres just released their training camp and pre season schedule, an event that is closely followed by fans of the team.

However, one fan favorite event was notably absent from the schedule, the annual Sabres Skill Competition. When asked about the cancellation of the event that has traditionally served as a fun and lighthearted break for players and fans alike, General Manager Tim Murray declined to comment. Head coach Dan Bylsma on the other hand admitted that this years skills competition had been canceled because of a lack of qualified participants.
