The NHL Is Good and Bad Right Now

During what should be the greatest time for hockey fans and the NHL there is trouble brewing. If you have paid any attention to ESPN or the NHL playoffs you probably saw that the Coyotes filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Well the league isn't happy about that because they have been giving the Coyotes money and working with them so that they could make the bills every month.

And to make matters worse the Coyotes owner was working behind the NHL's back to broker a deal to sell the team to a Canadian business man that Gary Bettman is not a fan of.

The best part of all this....this all went down as the NHL and Bettman were getting ready to sell the team to Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf.

So while fans and media could be focused on Capitals/Penguins and Ovechkin/Crosby we get distracted by this ridiculous scene.

Personally I don't care who owns the Coyotes. In fact why the hell is the NHL playing in Arizona anyway? For that matter why are they in Miami? Two of the hottest areas in the country and there are ICE hockey teams that have the goal of playing into June. I say close down both teams and turn the players loose into free agency.

OR do what everyone else wants to see and put another team in Canada. I don't know or care what would be the best option but having more Canadian teams can not be a bad thing.

Either way put this issue to bed right away and let's focus on the fight for Lord Stanley's Cup. You have the 2 most electric players in the league right now going head to head in the playoffs.

Let's focus on that!
