Canucks Rumblings: NHL Realignment, Abbotsford AHL Relocation?

Canucks Rumblings: NHL Realignment, Abbotsford AHL Relocation?

February 25th, 2013 Already close to halfway through the shortened 2013 NHL season, the Vancouver Canucks once again remain safely at the top on the North-West standings. Since the 2008/9 season, the Canucks have both won and dominated the North-West division consisting of the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Minnesota Wild...
Winnipeg Destiny Tied Once Again to Phoenix

Winnipeg Destiny Tied Once Again to Phoenix

February 10th, 2013 Can there be two more different places on the North American map than Winnipeg and Phoenix? Winnipeg is a small, quaint and bohemian city, close-knit and known for vehemently supporting its own sports and arts scenes. Phoenix is a sprawling mass of transients bound in a seemingly endless quest to become a cactus-infested giant strip...

December 29th, 2011 (Part 2 of a two-part series) On Tuesday, we examined five events that saddened the hockey world. Today, we will look at the five best moments of 2011.

NHL 2011 Year In Review

NHL 2011 Year In Review

December 26th, 2011 The year of 2011 is coming to an end. For some, it couldn't have gone by any slower. Others don't want it to end so soon. Either way, it's still the time of year for celebration and looking back at all the great moments we've had. In the hockey world, there were many triumphant moments, and unfortunately, there were also many tragic...
On Realignment and Rivalries in the NHL

On Realignment and Rivalries in the NHL

December 19th, 2011 So the NHL Board of Governors were able to formulate a new alignment for the league. By all accounts, it's been well-received. It seems to address geographic issues as best as possible, including those caused by Atlanta's move to Winnipeg, while accommodating possible future moves (Phoenix east?) Not that there haven't been criticisms....
Nashville Predators Better Plan for the Realignment

Nashville Predators Better Plan for the Realignment

December 6th, 2011 The shocking realignment announced on Monday has put the Nashville Predators behind a very big rock.  I have not seen information on the real vote, but if the Predators voted for this alignment, they should have their intelligence checked.  The conference that Nashville will be in also has Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, Dallas, St....
The Boston Bruins and NHL Realignment

The Boston Bruins and NHL Realignment

December 6th, 2011 With the announcement yesterday of the NHL’s plan for realignment following the 2011-12 season, will this reorganization affect the Boston Bruins and their chances to remain a top team for years into the future? The Bruins and their Northeast Division rivals will welcome two teams into their new seven-team conference next season...
What Does the new NHL Alignment Mean for the Winter Classic?

What Does the new NHL Alignment Mean for the Winter Classic?

December 6th, 2011 There is a great deal more in creating or reestablishing old rivalries between teams. One of the most heated sports rivalries took place between the Red Wings and the Colorado Avalanche; however, these two teams were not selected to be in a conference together. How great would a Red Wings vs. Avalanche Winter Classic be though?
The Deed is Done: Thoughts on NHL Realignment

The Deed is Done: Thoughts on NHL Realignment

December 5th, 2011 Jim Neveau, Senior NHL Correspondent After a debate that has raged since the Winnipeg Jets left Atlanta over the summer, the NHL Board of Governors approved a new four-conference alignment by a 26-4 vote on Monday night at Pebble Beach in California. The move still has to be ratified by the NHLPA, but that seems like a formality at this...

Relocation Roulette: If the Thrashers Move, What Should the Divisions Look Like?

Relocation Roulette: If the Thrashers Move, What Should the Divisions Look Like?

May 12th, 2011 Jim Neveau, NHL Correspondent With the Phoenix Coyotes and New York Islanders seemingly staying put (at least for the time being), all of the relocation talk in the NHL has now shifted full-bore onto the Atlanta Thrashers. Reports are popping up all over the place that the team is looking for owners to stay in Atlanta, and different...

Time to Realign, Reschedule, Recalculate . . .Are you listening, Gary?

November 30th, 2010 With the economy hitting season ticket sales, the continuing saga of the Phoenix Coyotes, and ongoing debate about the CBA, competitive markets, revenue opportunities, etc. I believe it is time to once again bring up the three "R's" -- realignment, rescheduling, recalculating. Why?  More reasons than I have time to recount in this...
