from the Globe and Mail,
The league’s board of governors has rejected the idea of expanding the season by two games a team because of complications and timing, according to NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly.
“It’s accurate that we are no longer considering an 84-game schedule for the 2008-09 season, but that it remains a possibility for the 2009-10 season,” Daly said in an e-mail yesterday.
“I think it was a combination of it becoming too late in the scheduling process for next season to effectuate a change, as well as the fact that we weren’t agreeable with the union’s condition that it be changed on a one-year, trial basis only.”
