Breaking: Gary Bettman Makes a Major Announcement
In the past few minutes, the National Hockey League, through Bill Daly on behalf of Gary Bettman, announced that they have absolutely no intention of following the NBA's lead and introducing a special competition during the regular season.
Essentially, similar to what is done in soccer, the NBA has just announced the organization of a special tournament in the months of November and December.
All 30 teams will participate and will be divided into 5 new divisions.
The winning team of the tournament will be awarded "the NBA Cup," and each player will earn half a million dollars. The goal is to create excitement and give fans a chance to see more competitive games outside of the playoffs.
There were serious rumors that the NHL might do the same, but Bill Daly just announced that it is a closed matter.
The verdict has been issued. They will not imitate the NBA.
Would you have liked the idea?
It could have allowed a team that won't even make the playoffs to cause an upset and play important games.
Certainly, opinions are very diverse. Some consider it excellent news, while others do not.
