dbadefense1990 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 NHL will expand to 32 teams in the next coming years. The twos teams recieving teams will be Seattle and Quebec City. Both cities have arenas to play in and blatant rivalries. Seattle will start in the Pacific Division. Quebec City will start in the Atlantic Division, Detroit will move to the Central.So then what the hell was the point of the Red Wings moving to the Eastern Conference?They move to the East to cut down on travel costs, but then they move back to a conference where road games slated in California begin at 9:30-10:30pm Detroit local time. The hell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hell?I don't know if anyone's actually done the math, but it seems to me like divisional alignment is less important now that you play every team at least twice per season.

The_Admiral Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 It is much less important, especially for the West and their 32/82 games out of conference, but something something divisional rivalries something something Norris Division Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbadefense1990 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 For further proof that hockey of any kind doesn't work in Arizona, the SunDogs are ending operations for 2014-2015 because of a lack of ticket revenue funds. http://arizonasundogs.com/news/headlines/index.html?article_id=2846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they were in Flagstaff or Tucson they'd be fine.

Sodboy13 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 That puts the CHL at 7 teams, and Brampton shouldn't survive the week, honestly, so 6, just like the old Fake IHL. Missouri looks like a definite to survive, and probably Wichita and Tulsa make it to the ECHL absorption, assuming they want to go. Rapid City may go to juniors because it'll be a better geographic fit. For Allen & Quad City, it's probably juniors or death.

For Allen & Quad City, it's probably juniors or death.Funny that you mentioned it cause the ones I keep reading that would go to the "E" would be Allen, Missouri & Rapid City. Wichita maybe, but Tulsa was rumored to go to the NAHL, I'd be surprised if Quad City survived this whole thing.

NJTank Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Detroit should be in the Central Division, I don't care about Toronto who has a natural hatred with Montreal and Boston who has New York as its chief geographical foe even though Montreal is too a more intense rivalry. To me the Red Wings natural rival will always be the Chicago Blackhawks. 1 Quote www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DnBronc Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I disagree with your statement about the NFL being diluted. 12 good QBs? Not by a long shot. In fact, I could easily think of 4-5 backup QBs that could easily serve as starting QBs if given the chance. The NFL is the most balanced league based on talent out of the big 4 easily.Matt Moore, Michael Vick, Brock Osweiler, Kirk Cousins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil G Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I can only see Cousins being a starter. Quote Bruh check out my last.fm And my Rate Your Music Fantasy Teams: Seattle Spacemen (CFA) Signature credit to Silent Wind of Doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
