Exactly. What's unfair to me is that fans of the Leafs/Rangers/Habs/etc. pay more for tickets, buy more merchandise, etc. etc.... and for what? So we can watch Stanley Cup parades in Carolina and Tampa Bay where no one gives a ****?
The NHL is very unusual in this respect. I've never seen a professional sports league so obsessed its weakest links and so indifferent to its most storied, successful franchises.
