Then I realized I just had to sit back and enjoy the slow motion car crash as it happened. Should be a fun next 7 months or so. I hope they at least work things out a bit more come March's GM meetings, but they'll probably be focused more on CBA. So as of right now the Jets should get used to the Southeast.

HedleyLamarr Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Lockout coming.Yup.This league is the bane of my existance.And look who's on the players' end of the negotiating table this time....Donald Fehr, a guy who's not afraid of missing a few games. If he's willing to forgo a World Series, who knows how much time he's willing to fight against a league that's already recently lost a season due to a labor dispute.Enjoy that thought, hockey fans.

Funky Bunky Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm sort of happy, I didn't really like that new alignment proposal. Hopefully, they can get something done soon though, because I rather have a weird alignment than no hockey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Doesn't matter. ESPN still won't report on it. (But yes, nixing the proposed realignment was the right thing to do.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 nixing the proposed realignment was the right thing to do.Other than the fact that the playoff structure was still "I dunno we'll figure it out," what was fundamentally wrong with it? I'll miss four games with west coast teams, but I could deal. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll miss four games with west coast teams, but I could deal.Well, there is that one thing about the "conferences" being uneven. (8-8-7-7) Even with as weird as baseball is, they eventually got that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 According to HockeyBuzz, here's the NHLPA's reasoning:"The proposed conference and playoff structure would create a serious unfairness because it would provide Players in conferences with 7-teams a substantially better chance of qualifying for the playoffs (4/7 versus 4/8); These teams will have this same statistical advantage every year under this conference format.....The "home + home" scheduling requirement, as well as the geographic position of teams within the new conference structure, could have a significant effect on the amount and the kind of travel (i.e, the number and length of team road trips; the number of games played on a road trip; the number of back-to-back games; the frequency of border crossings; the length of home stands)."It's not a bad list, though a couple of these excuses are more tied to venue availability than it is the result of a modified schedule-making process.

Sodboy13 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 So, will Québec be playing in the Pacific or the Central next season?

Having Winnipeg play division games in D.C., Tampa, Florida and Raleigh is much better for everyone, not to mention the at least 2 games each they play in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
