@jlthrift: I agree, but the St. Louis inclusion was shady.
-
Another thing about this: the network who got the TV rights at the time wanted two California teams as part of the deal, likely as a ratings move.
-
I knew that.
-
@jlthrift: That is what they should have done.
Vancouver should have been in this expansion, but there were dirty dealings. Montreal and Toronto were reluctant to share their CBC Hockey Night money with another Canadian team, and St. Louis got a team because the Chicago owner owned the rink, even though they didn't apply. Vancouver and Buffalo should have been in the first expansion, not Oakland and St. Louis.

I like this vid. This is from when the NHL needed to expand. Now it's too big. Thanks, Gary Bettman! I love hockey and the way I see it for all that's right and good the NHL should be a 24-team league today. That way there would be enough money to go around.

It would have been like this had the NHL put the new teams geographically:
West: Oakland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minnesota, St. Louis, and Detroit
East: Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston and Toronto.
Final: Montreal def. Chicago.

@Lava1964 Even though Buffalo came in 70.
-
@Lava1964 Buffalo was also VERY close to moving until Golisano came in and saved the team.

Of the six teams that entered the NHL in 1967, Oakland and Minnesota both have relocated. St. Louis and Pittsburgh have both teetered on bankruptcy in the past. Los Angeles survived despite hockey being way down on the ist of popular sports in southern California. Only Philadelphia has had consistent fan support from day one. good for Philly--and I'm not a Flyers fan.
