It Was A Very Good Year

from Bucky Gleason of the Buffalo News,

Here are five reasons you should have enjoyed the NHL in 2007-08:

• The right team won it all. Detroit became the first team since the 2001-02 Red Wings to win the Presidents’ Trophy and the Stanley Cup. If it happened every year, it would become tiresome. But every now and again, it’s nice to see the best team in the league confirm as much in the playoffs. The Red Wings for years have had the best organization. Their players earned the Cup in the end.

• Sid the Kid. The NHL couldn’t have asked for much more than Sidney Crosby and the Penguins reaching the finals. Crosby is the face of the new NHL, and he was brilliant in the postseason while showcasing the league.

This one from Pollyanna confuses me:

Add it up, and you get a record $2.5 billion in revenue for this season. With the infusion of money comes potential problems. The increase in revenue means an increase in the salary cap, which hurts small-market teams. If revenues and salaries continue to soar, the league will need to address a sharing plan that will help smaller markets.

I thought that was the point of this whole lockout thing…
