Elitist bigwigs help each other get rich.
American owners knowing all the other VIPS like the owner of Boston actually on a chair.
It goes like this…
Build a hockey arena in a state where NBA,NFL,NASCAR, NCAA, MLB, PGA, Country concerts draw bigger crowds.
Make sure those NHL teams are marketed good.
Give an environment during the games like no other.
Easier reffing means odds of making playoff runs or WCs are higher
Playoffs hype the city and brings in $$$$
But it has to be American you see, brings in the other states fans and increases tourism.
When it’s a Canadian team, there is ZERO incentive for this team to have a second of important airtime.
Who remembers 2017 playoffs Boston had 5 back to back power plays in a 1 goal game lead by leafs.
That was our softest leaf’s team too. VS licking Marchand
Fix was always in.
