Hopefully before they move they get some better D. Thats all i need is my friends (leaf fans) rubbing that shit in daily...

Glad to be back in a division with Toronto.. Great rivalry

and, 5 of the original 6 teams are in the east.. not bad, would love to see Chicago there though

Very good. No more playoff games starting at 10:30 PM.

I like the realignment ... from a fans point of view its good.

I think getting it on with Boston, Montreal, Toronto and the Rangers more often will good for the fans.

I think the Wings better days are behind them and no doubt they need to be a trader at the deadline not a buyer.

Lots of travel to road games. Got Buffalo/Detroit/Toronto. Montreal/Ottawa arent unreasonable.

I figure Fla will move to Quebec at some point as well and they would swing ClOlumbus into the Division

for sure... what you think of bouwmeester outta calgary for a year? Trade Filpulla to calgary.

Liking Kindl's play. Erickson and Quincy.. on the fence.. still sloppy players.

they need spark and relying on Dats is brutal. Zetterburg and Franzen need to pick it up.

Cleary a machine

even flow - question mark

As a Red Wing fanatic living in Toronto, this is the fucking best thing that could happen! Saturday night will never be the same. Nothing like watching the Laughs get smoked by the big red machine.

But in a real world that Gary Fuckhead Bettman does not live in.....this is how it should be..........

This was the best division ever! . (period)

Chicago Black Hawks
Detroit Red Wings
Minnesota North Stars
St. Louis Blues
Toronto Maple Leafs

Personally I think a house cleaning is in order ... Filpulia and Franzen could both be traded, at this stage I'd want draft picks. I see can Ignila going to Pittsburgh for draft picks. The only problem I see when trying to obtain Bouwmeester is Calgary might want draft picks. I think Detroit trading so many high draft picks over the years is finally catching up with them. Montreal stayed successful from the 50's to 90's by hanging onto their draft picks.

I know Detroit sports radio loves to rave about Detroit drafting prowess because they nabbed a couple really good players in the 6th round or later, but you really don't do it that often.

If I was Holland I'd trade Franzen, Filpula and Howard all preferably for draft picks ... The reason I'd get rid of Howard is he wants 6-7 and close to 6 million.

This division wasn't messed with by Bettman ... Toronto wanted in the East and in the same division with Montreal so when Ken Dryden was president of the leafs he used his fine lawyering skills and negotiated and got them in the same division. Toronto and Montreal is probably a much better rivalry than Detroit and Toronto.

I stand by my Bettman comment.

Yeah, you'd think that Montreal/Toronto would be a better rivalry. But as a Red Wing fan, ah no.

I wish there were a way to get Chicago in the east.. but the east has 2 more teams than the west.. It would defy geographical logic, but I say Columbus to the west and Chicago to the east.. the 6 should be together.

I also think the fans make Montreal vs Toronto a great rivalry ...
