Is the NHL expanding?

I did the math and the Eastern Conference has more teams than the Western conference. I'm just like "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT REALIGNMENT FOR"... Unless the NHL is preparing to expand next season, two teams in the west! Give me your thoughts on if you think this is what's happening, and if yes than where in the west are they going? Thx! B)

The NHL is not expanding, much like, contrary to popular belief, the universe is not.

No, but just like our celestial home, it is only gaining in mass, becoming an ever-bloated receptacle of energy, force, and gasbags emitting a theoretically infinite amount of fumes. Enough to create a new sun, even. But it takes more than fumes to make a sun. They must first form together, and be compressed to the point where it forms a sphere. That's where the blowhards come in, exerting their matter in a wave of hydrogen, helium, and opinions on third jerseys, bounding together those gasses enough to compress them so that they create the mightiest star in existence: a sun. The ultimate giver of life, simultaneously melting ice, and allowing it to exist.

The comparison ends, though, when we approach the inevitable end: death. You see, with as far as we have advanced as a culture, we cannot tolerate worshipping a mortal god. Odin? Zeus? They all will meet their respective ends. Even Ra knows his time will come. A sun must die, but there will be no death for the NHL. For the NHL can survive even a period of intense cooling. Multiple ones, in fact. It can survive through lockouts; the sun cannot make it through even one. Because even when the core shrinks, and the arenas close their doors, the fusion of radiation continues, somewhere, behind closed doors, planning, scheming for a comeback. Even being reduced to black dwarf status amongst mainstream fan awareness and sentiment is not enough for this star to fade away. Indeed, to fade away is to become as nothingness, but when you have already survive on nothingness, you are eternal.

1. That is a weird post.

2. The universe is expanding. Don't let any physicists push their "variable mass universe" on you.

3. I'm pretty sure even the NHL is subject to the heat death of the universe.

Well, I think we all now know where Ilya Bryzgalov is living...

Nice speech i'm moved... NOT! Back to sports chat (and enough with outer space today)

While you can argue for contraction on a talent-pool basis, you can't make the league more marketable by subtracting the number of locations where it can be marketed. You would also be a village idiot to make teams disappear altogether when there are cities without teams where the league is leaving good money on the table. In conclusion, this is a bad thread, and I'm a bad poster for having posted in it.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
