NHL news,and commentary

the NHL has said that they want a realignment decision,by December,because they have promised the Winnipeg Jets,a slot,in Western Conference,in 2012-2013... they also promised that the Red Wings would be considered to be moved first,to the Eastern Conference,because of travel,but they have three logical teams that could be moved,(Columbus,Detroit,or Nashville),and knowing,"commissioner for life",Gary Bettman(a real funny term for him-am not a real big fan of his,at all-goes back to what he did to the fans of Winnipeg,in 1996,when he promised that the Jets would be saved,and then undermined his words,and promises,to the fans,by working behind the scenes,by letting the owner,at that time,sabotage the Jets,then feigning innocence,by allowing him to undercut the fans,by saying the Jets had no financial chance to survive,and then letting the owner move team to Phoenix),anything is possible,so we shall see what will happen... if Detroit is not the team that is not moved,i will say that Bettman's word is not worth squat,and he tried to sabotage the deal,in the first place... i see the other teams' point on moving,but a promise is a promise,but we all know where it got the fans of Winnipeg-15 years of misery,and a ton of very bad feelings... i was a fan of that team,at that time...
