NHL.com is doing a little remodeling! Its about time.
Written by Bill on September 24th, 2008 | 6 CommentsNHL.com has a redesign in the works! They are moving away from the boring, cluttered, poor layout they have been managing and bringing in a new design that still delivers the information, but to me, in a less cluttered … more “social media” centric way.

Apparently someone has broken through to KHL president Alexander Medvedev, and my money is on the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation). Medvedev is part of the executive council of the IIHF and I can almost hear the conversations that have gone on over the past 3 or 4 weeks. Anyone order the Humble Pie … Anyone???
