  • NHL Board of Governors meeting - Conference Realignment: Who goes where????

    http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=604729 What are your thoughts about about what the new conferences and divisions will look like. I for one will be ticked if the Wild - Canuck rivalry goes by the wayside.

    I won't be. Much rather play St. Louis and Chicago more often. Detroit too, but that appears to be a pipe dream.

      I agree it would be pretty sweet to play Chicago, but there is some real hate between Vancouver and MN.

          Kevin Allen thinks there is probably 17-18 votes for the "radical" realignment at minimum.

          The latest proposal is the 15 teams in the West+ Winnipeg in two 8 team divisions and Montreal Toronto, Buffalo, Boston, and Ottawa with the two Florida teams, while Carolina/Washington go to the Pitt/Philly, New York region.

            So that would be:

            Tor Mon Ott Buf Bos TB Fla

            NYR NYI NJD Pit Phi Was Car

            LA Anh Pho SJ Van Edm Cal Col

            Win Min Det Cls StL Nsh Dal Chi

            At that point, you could try moving Det to one of the "Eastern" conferences/divisions. You just need to be able to accept splitting up the leftovers of the SE division.
            If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

            BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


            At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

              I think the unspoken comment is that the "west" and "east" will balance out when Phoenix dies.

                Here's what Bronconick is talking about:

                http://l.yimg.com/a/p/sp/editorial_i...theast_div.jpg

                I like it. There is no East/West conferences. It's just four groups of teams and the top four from each division make the post season. Plenty of room to allow easy re-arranging depending on where PHX lands, and if a 31st and 32nd franchise are awarded.

                    And, it solves the Red Wings issue with the time zones. Fifty five games would take place in the Eastern Time Zone (41 home games, 14 "East" road games). Only eight "late night" games in the Mountain/Pacific time zones. That leaves 19 road games against divisional opponents, who are all in the Central time zone (except for Columbus, who is also ETZ).

                      But Illitch gets the last laugh as EVERYONE in the NHL not in San Jose's division has to deal with the stupid SJ airport curfew just once per year.

                        If we don't have Eastern and Western Conferences, can we go back to the Wales and Campbell Conferences.

                          Adding Florida and Tampa to the Northeast division is asinine. They're making this way too complicated. Base it on geography, period.

                            Not for Tampa and Florida's revenue stream. 3 home games each with a bunch of snowbird teams.

                              Not sure how going by geography is any less complicated.
