So the ratings will only be good in Canada, I mean all the teams have an equal chance to be great especially in playoff hockey where anyone can win. I mean there's an inbalance when the Oilers get top pick pretty much every year and can't do anything with it.

I'm sure most Canadian tams are getting better shares in their respective cities than a lot of American cities give their teams. At least higher than Tampa Bay.
I'm talking from a salary cap pov and other stuff like that. I'm not talking about TV Contracts, I would love for some relocation though especially with the Flordia Panthers.
I'd actually like to see a few mexico-based teams added to the mix just to spice things up (or have a few games played in Japan/China like what they're doing with the european NFL games). While expanding past 32 teams would be a horrible idea, broadening the global audience couldn't hurt them in the longrun.

They should make it successful in the other states before even thinking about moving it to Mexico, which isn't even in the most stable of states atm.
I'm talking about ratings than contracts.

I can't believe that out of the four teams participating in the Pacific semis, the lone American team emerges. I guess they were better. Seriously, the NHL needs to rethink separating the 7 non-American teams.
Anyway, Montreal is the last hope of breaking the American streak of Stanley Cup winners. I'm sure they can do it. They have a pretty good team.

Why would they separate them, if they aren't good enough to make it they don't deserve to make it. The whole logic behind it is dumb, let's put a bunch of teams together that can't get it done just because they aren't American. Don't think Montreal gets out of the east.

This is really disappointing. 5 non-American teams make the playoffs. None of them make it to the final four. I hope the NHL puts them all in the same division come 2016.
To be fair, Montreal kinda gave that series away. While tampa had an amazing offense, they shouldn't have been able to beat Carey Price so bloody easily. Aside from that, all the other teams shouldn't have actually made the playoffs with Vancouver being a perennial joke and Ottawa/Calgary/Winnipeg being in rebuilds. If Boston and LA hadn't blown up, we could've seen a way different picture.
They aren't good enough so let's make it easier on them to win, that's horrible. Montreal should've beat Tampa though, was actually rooting for them in that series.
I was actually rooting for the lightning kinda, as they need something to get away from that whole "Vinny/St Louis are the only way we can win anything important" image that's been going on for the past decade. That being said, their two leading point getters are Kucherov and Johnson, so they're definitely surprising me when it comes to their scoring depth.
