My GM can beat up your GM.

Lowe vs Burke in a barnfight would have been the greatest thing ever.

He was probably just drinking away his sorrow over the fact that he could never top Melrose’s mullet.

well, starting next year the clusterfuck begins. lets go rangers.

They basically just put Winnipeg in the west, making the west 16 teams and the east 14 teams. Looking to steal MLB’s old setup that they don’t want anymore.

Better image of the conferences than the shitty one I had earlier.

If they were trying to group by time zone as best they can, I can live with A and B, but WTF at C and D?

Ya they really fucked it up for Florida and Tampa Bay lolol

BUT! At least every team plays every team, every year.
So I don’t have to wait every 4 years to see Crosby or Stamkos.

Florida and Tampa Bay being in that division is the best thing to happen to them.

They’ll sell more tickets with more appearances from Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal lol

yeah i could see toronto fans driving down for games haha

Wake up this morning to find out that Bell and Rogers have agreed to a joint venture and has acquired the 80% shares of MLSE from the teachers pension.
Two of the worst customer service and money sucking companies are going to run the leafs and raptors. This might work…

Big bump.
Concussions have currently destroyed, Crosby, Giroux, Michalek, Pitkanen, and Skinner. lololol

Kessel is next!

To go along with the NHL’s realignment I’m thinking we should propose they create the Concussion Conference.

I am not sure how good in taste that statement is.

lol Fuck this province. Glad they are in the stupid east.

Their next move should be to trade for Chara. That’ll spike the responses from that province.

I’m from montreal, I think we should hire the best coach available regardless of language … and yeah I can speak French …

But your statement is just ignorant … Quebec should separate because of the French media and politicians (the PQ) are bitching to get their camera time ?
It’s one thing to say those French media/ French people( pro PQ peeps) that care about it is stupid but ur saying FUCK the entire PROVINCE of Quebec … and that Quebec proves why we should separate ?

I’d change ur wording on that because that’s just dumb … it’s not like all of Quebec and French people thinks like what is portrayed in the media (which is stupid and not representative of all) …

Make fun of the players, coach , gm or wtv but to say the province is stupid and group those that want French onry and the rest into one group is being ignorant and on top of that , that it deserves to separate is stretching it a bit too much …

it’s like if u had a group of french people in ur province and they had their own media station outlet and did stupid things … and then me saying ur entire province is stupid and should seperate because of what people in higher power and in the spotlight say …

EDIT:
And for those wondering why the frenchies are real sensitive about this topic … read this …

not just quebec. all those french queers. that means nova scotia too.

Anyone else hype for the WJC? I hope the NHL network shows some of the games.

Quebequois people are hilarious. I don’t consider them french. And neither do the french. lol.

I understand they want to protect their cultural identity, but they often overstep their bounds and just complain about shit they have no right complaining about. This is one of those situations.

To be honest, if I see one of them walking around a mall, I won’t even recognize them.
Unless it’s Devante.

But Go Canada Go!

it wont last long

I probably wouldn’t either unless its a Panthers prospect, but I’m just excited since we have a lot of prospects playing in the tournament.

On another note, I totally expect us to go on a serious losing streak. Half of our forwards are injured and our AHL callups look meh.
