Unbalanced is the way we shall be

The consensus of all the 30 team general managers is there is no consensus. The gm’s failed to come up with an agreement on the schedule for next season, so at the moment the unbalanced scheduled that is laden with conference games and not much of the other division is still intact. There are some gm’s that would like to see other cities come to town and who blames them. I am from Texas and I get to see the Dallas Stars once every other year here in Raleigh. The Stars and Canes played to a shootout last season being won by Dallas. But come on, I would like to see the Stars on a yearly bases here playing a home and home and maybe not so many of the Islanders or Devils. Then again, last season Dallas had more points in shootouts then they probably did with regulation wins.
On another note, the St. Louis Blues have announced today that Al MacInnis is their new vice president of hockey operations. It’s good to see players joining the front office so that hopefully they can make the game even more fan friendly. Late last week, the Carolina Hurricanes announced Ron Francis as director of player development. Moves like these I think are great for the game.
