Major conference realignment will occur next season.

Quote:

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The NHL's Board of Governors on Monday approved a radical realignment plan, eliminating the current two-conference, six-division setup in favor of a configuration that features four conferences based primarily on geography. Two conferences will have eight teams and the other two conferences will have seven teams.

Well, as long as a team still has to actively try to be bad enough to miss the playoffs, I'm okay with it.

Will one of those conferences take the Astros? I don't want them in the AL West.

That's what we're doing this year. I'm sure we can find a way to miss them next year too.

Congratulations to the Kings. Awful, awful way to end the series (and not because they won).

GO Eastern Conference!!!!!!!!

Wait, what?? Hockey? It's 80 degrees outside!

The hit was a barely after the whistle and they were already at full speed toward each other before the whistle blew.

Whether it was knee-to-knee...he leaned in a little but the knee-to-knee contact looked more incidental than anything. I say good no call (and as you well know, I have no loyalties to either team or player, making my decision fair, impartial, and binding).

I think the hit just made the atmosphere more negative than it needed to be. Coyotes fans weren't going to be happy with the outcome but as a rule, they are respectful of the winning team in the end. If the hit didn't happen they probably wouldn't have thrown stuff on to the ice, booed the team and the handshake line wouldn't be one step away from a bench clearing brawl.

Never mind that the guy who WAS hit, had flopped epically just a few minutes before. Karma jumped up and bit those little desert dogs in the ass...
