[NHL] MetroHockey Division (and the rest of the league)

jwhouk · Jul 20, 2013

Time to start a new thread, as the new schedule is upon us.

But seriously: Metropolitan Division???

HCGLNS · Jul 20, 2013

Top 3 in each division make the playoffs, followed by the next top 2 by points in the conference.

WESTERN CONFERENCE EASTERN CONFERENCE
Pacific Division Central Division Metropolitan Division Atlantic Division
Anaheim Chicago Carolina Boston
Calgary Colorado Columbus Buffalo
Edmonton Dallas New Jersey Detroit
Los Angeles Minnesota NY Islanders Florida
Phoenix Nashville NY Rangers Montreal
San Jose St. Louis Philadelphia Ottawa
Vancouver Winnipeg Pittsburgh Tampa Bay
Washington Toronto

Timmus · Jul 20, 2013

Man those teams in the metropolitan think they are soooooooo fancy.

DarkAudit · Jul 20, 2013

Would you mind reformatting that a bit, please? Thanks so much.

That's not how you spell "Patrick".

Covar · Jul 21, 2013

Raleigh is a Metropolis? Don't get me wrong I love this city, but we're one of the smallest markets in the NHL. Then again they probably had trouble coming up with a name for the one conference without any Canadian team. I mean, what are you supposed to call the conference?

See above.

jwhouk · Jul 21, 2013

Or, they could switch names with the Central and name the division with the Hawks and Blues and Stars the "Midwest Division."

blotsfan · Jul 21, 2013

Wait...we're the Atlantic? Why not make the Atlantic from the teams that were in the former Atlantic?

Nuts to those guys, that's why.

jwhouk · Jul 21, 2013

I get the feeling we won't see named divisions in the NHL until Gary Bettman is no longer commissioner of the league.

Covar · Jul 21, 2013

Good. I also propose banning anyone from the sport who mentions or refers to the original six as something with present day meaning and value.

Timmus · Jul 22, 2013

You being facetious? As a whole the O 6 teams have been pretty relevant recently.

DarkAudit · Jul 22, 2013

For all the years they kept people and cities out of the sport, I'd suggest the "Original Six" were bad for hockey. That and how thay conspired amongst themselves to keep certain teams down in favor of others.

Covar · Jul 22, 2013

And how teams play now has zero relationship to the fact that they were the only NHL
Teams to survive into the 60s. Hell you would have a hard time finding players who were alive before the expansion.

Original six is bad for hockey, it elevates teams for no reason, and pisses on the rest of the league. This is not similar to playing up a franchises history, it's a false sense of entitlement.

Charlie Don't Surf · Jul 22, 2013

the Original Six own, divisions named after people are horrible

I'd rather the calendar roll over to October already.

Are you scheduled to get the flashy Chicago/Detroit cover? Wish I was that lucky.

jwhouk · Aug 25, 2013

...On the advice of my attorney, I decline to divulge which of the covers I ordered, as it may violate my 5th amendment right to self-incrimination.

You had a luongo torterella cover custom made. It's ok, you can admit it.

HCGLNS · Aug 26, 2013

Adorable and hilarious and inspiring all at once!

Malkin fights 7 yr old

Sparhawk · Aug 26, 2013

That was pretty cool of him.

Timmus · Aug 30, 2013

So any which way you look at it this is awesome.

jwhouk · Aug 30, 2013

My copy of THN's NHL Yearbook arrived today.

Why did I get the Phil Kessel cover?

HCGLNS · Aug 30, 2013

Why did I get the PK Subban cover? Because they hate us. Why do they hate us? Because we remind them of how foolish they consistently act.

jwhouk · Sep 4, 2013

The response to the little "issue" my favorite hockey team had with its spellchecker:

It has come to hour attention that the Nashville Perdaters e-mail to our most loyal fans may have had a few misspellings in it yesturday, but can you blame us? With so much excitement in the air as the season quickly approaches, we can’t even sea or type stra8.

The playas are back in town, single game tix go on sale this weekend and our furst home preseason game is only 18 days away. We are planning so many great events for you that spel cheque is the last thing on hour mind.

We look forward to seeing you at the Season Tix Holder pick-up partay @ Bridgestone Arena this Saturday at 11 a.m., where you can tell us in person how bad our spelling is.

Go Perds!!!!!!

(The last was the misspelling that triggered KO's jab at the team last night.)

In true HF fashion:

What is this I don't even

blotsfan · Sep 5, 2013

So...the Sabres new third jersey is awful

jwhouk · Sep 5, 2013

Hey blotsfan, the Perds called. They want their rejected mustard thirds back.
