    I wonder why they didn't flip-flop the Blue Jackets and Penguins with the Florida teams?

    Maybe Bettman is planning on relocating the Florida teams to eastern Canada in the short term future ...

    Is it weird to anyone else that Wisconsin doesn't have a team?

    The Philly/Pittsburgh rivalry and Pittsburgh's "rivalry" with Washington (that doesnt actually exist)

    Plus those teams will fill the arenas down there.


    I suspect maybe Florida will move to Quebec at some point and they will slide Tampa to the East there and move Columbus to the Great Lakes/Canada Division.

    I don't know anyone in Wisconsin that follows hockey. It's a baseball and basketball state.

    Lots of beer league baseball.

    Pittsburgh vs Washington is a rivaly... it resurfaced with the whole Sid/Ovie thing, in the 90's, it was a great playoff rivalry.

    Great to see Detroit move.
    Used to love the Fri.- Sat. home and home series with Toronto.
    Pitt-Phil rivalry is steaming along.A couple of great games so far this year.
    If they meet in the playoffs---make sure you watch every game.

    It just seems like the Ovechkin/Crosby Wash/Pitts rivalry is fueled and pushed by the NHL Offices.

    Exactly right.But with Wash. and Ovie. fizzling out it seems to have lost its lustre.

    Flyers wont be in the playoffs.

    According to TSN That's Hockey the new realignment could/will be tweaked in 2-3 years. Probably depends on Phoenix staying put or eventually ends up in Quebec.

    And they have a great piece called studs and duds done by a Vancouver reporter ... He really layed into Bryz ... Basically said he was the problem in Anaheim, Phoenix and now Philly and he has a cap hit of 5.7 million for the next 7 years :lol::lol::lol:.

    So glad that Detroit is finally in the east... No more staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning watching playoff games on the west coast.

    If you haven't read Probert's book I recommend it ... very good book. He was maybe the toughest of them all.

    Yeah, I've read it.Probie lived not 10 min. from me.I had Red Wings season tickets from 1985-2002 so I have seen a lot of Probie battles.I was at the game in the video.Used to see Probie around town once and awhile.Very nice guy,if he wasn't blotto.He just couldn't stay away from the junk.
    Still hard to believe he's gone.
