That article is pretty funny. 

Am I the only one here that wants the Wings to stay in the west?

I want it as well. Time will tell though.

It's such a fundamental change that I myself cannot see it occurring. It's not just the arenas of the NHL cities, it's the arenas of all North American Hockey rinks that would come into question. Yes it's true that CHL, AHL, WHL and even pewee hockey rinks wouldn't have to change but a new pressure would be put on them to change.

If we are considering outlandish ideas to create more space, why not simply drop the amount of skaters to 3 forwards and 1 D for a total of 4 per side. Heck 2 forwards and 2 D, I don't care..... and yes i'm kidding.

I wouldn't be against contraction.

I like Fistric, I recall when he was on the vancouver giants WHL team as a rookie at age 16 i believe. The other team hit a Giant player and injured him so a brawl broke out on the ice. Being down a man it was 6 vs 5.... yes the goalies fought too. Fistric beat up his first person, then proceeded to find the spare and kicked his ass too. Fan favorite instantly.
