NHL just can’t help itself when it comes to its Coliseum feelings

This just in: After consultation with Senator Kamala Harris’ office, the Kings have decided to trade Ilya Kovalchuk.

What on earth to make of that statement regarding playoff scheduling the Islanders released in a late Friday afternoon news dump, presumably in coordination with the NHL?

What league voluntarily calls attention to the fact the arena in which one of its franchises is playing 20 home games this year and could play all 41 for the next couple of seasons during the Belmont construction process, “does not qualify as an NHL major league facility?”

Well, see, I’ve answered my own question: the National Hockey League, of course.
