And heres the entire schedule

[jstewismybastardson]

will seattle play in the metropolitan division when they get a team?

 

[Slimpikins]

Are they trying to out do the big ten for most shitty conference names?

 

[awaz]

will seattle play in the metropolitan division when they get a team?

nah, they'll throw them in the 'atlantic division' and change the name to the ocean division.. then the central will be the 'river division' and the 'pacific' will turn in to the 'hot tangy salsa' division after the kings change their name to 'los kings' to try to attract the hispanic community

How the fuck is Detroit in the Atlantic? I blame Donald Fehr

 

[BOSSMANPC]

So we have the Atlantic, which involves none of the old Atlantic teams, and majority of teams that aren't even that close to the Atlantic Ocean, while the Metropolitan division comprises of majority of the old Atlantic and more teams actually in the vicinity of the Ocean.

The more I look at how these divisions were named and what teams are in them the less sense it makes. Do they have drug testing for the NHL big shots that come up with this shit?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Shit, A "Great Lakes" Div would have made more sense than Atlantic for the teams that are in it.

 

[JustAsking]

I'm a big fan of playing teams back to back... Pens have 3 such occasions

1.) 11/1 -11/2 against the bluejackets
2.) 3/10-3/11 against the capitals
3.) 3/15 - 3/16 against the flyers

(last 4 on national TV)

HERITAGE Flex Hat - Seattle Metros

Id like to see Count Bettman go onto sesame street, greet some 4 and 5 years olds (HI KIDS!!!) and play that "which one doesnt belong" game with the names of the divisions

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Like Clark Griswald would say.

1. This makes no sense

B. Nothing the NHL does make sense.

3. This is what we expect from the NHL.

 

[Vadered]

Flyers have sixteen sets of back to back games.

Zero of them have both games happen in Philly.

Rags have 12, Isles 17, I believe the Pens have 17...Devils? 22. Twenty. Two.

the devils are really getting the horns this summer

 

[thedddd]

Fitting they put the likes of AO and Crosby in the "metro" division....

Seriously that has to be the worst naming of divisions ever.
I guess for the Atlantic division the thought is, hey at least Boston is in the area....Or maybe they needed to keep the tradition of always having teams in the wrong conference/division.

they're just stupid. they could've gone w/ 'great nhl names' and probably would've pissed off 0 hockey fans. doesn't matter who they picked, it would've been better than what they did.

Oh yeah and per the quote it looks like Daly was against the names. I guess they won't do that because the KHL did?

petty teenage girl says what?

 

[flyersfan4706]

If I counted correctly, the Flyers have 14 games before 5 PM

Come on now don't insult all petty teenage girls out there by referring Daly and Bettman as one of them.
