Four step plan gives expansion solution
If the National Hockey League board of governors is serious about accomplishing realignment, it will follow this easy four-step plan and be done with it: 1. Give the Winnipeg Jets several million dollars to remain in the Smythe Division. 2. Put the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in the Norris Division. 3. Put the expansion Ottawa Senators in the Adams Division. 4. Pat itself on the back for a job well done, admire the four six-team divisions and go home. That’s exactly what the governors should have done when they met in West Palm Beach, Fla., Dec. 5-7. Instead, they went into those meetings with little focus.

The critics have been silenced…at least temporarily. Ron Sutter, the focus of much displeasure with St. Louis Blues’ fans this season, scored twice and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins Dec. 7 and was named the game’s first star.

Since then—the day the Blues gave up Dan Quinn and Rod Brind’Amour for Sutter and Murray Baron-coach Sutter has received nothing but grief. Fans have been blaming him for the dismantling of last season’s 105-point team and overpopulating it with Sutter-like players. After a slow start, Ron was tied for fourth on the Blues with 19 points, on eight goals and 11 assists-a 54-point…
