2011-12 Blackhawks: No Longer Accepting Mediocrity or Tolerating Bullshit

[Slaky]

Wasn't Marty Reasoner a Blackhawk for like 4 or 5 days a year or so ago?

Or am I misremembering that?

You are correct.

This is a win the Hawks can be really proud of. Great 3rd period effort and they never gave up against a real powerhouse Islander team. Sleep well, guys. You earned those 2 points.

Are you being sarcastic?

I don't even know anymore.

Is the Carcillo WGN show DRLP? I haven't listened yet, but the CRM monkeys seem to be falling all over themselves.

Seems to me the new NHL alignment scheme will probably spell an end to the Hawks-Canucks rivalry...

The NHL's Board of Governors has made a decision on a plan for NHL realignment.

The league has approved a four conference format, subject to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman considering time frame implementation. Bettman will also speak to the NHLPA before implementing the changes.

...

The plan, finalized on Monday would see four separate conferences established to replace the current two-conference, six division system.

The proposed new conferences would be arranged to accommodate both geographical proximity as well as established rivalries.

The existing Northeast division would be expanded to include the league's two Florida-based teams, making a conference of: Boston, Buffalo, Florida, Montreal, Ottawa, Tampa Bay and Toronto.

Meanwhile, the existing Atlantic Division would gain two teams for a seven-team conference including: Carolina, New Jersey, the New York Islanders, New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington.

The Central Division would be modified to form a conference of Mid-Western teams including: Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, and Winnipeg.

The three Canadian teams from the Northwest Division would join a proposed Western Conference including: Anaheim, Calgary, Colorado, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Vancouver.

...

The realignment is aimed at evening out the travel schedules for all NHL teams with each team playing teams outside their conference twice per year, once at home and on the road.

...

In the seven-team Conferences, teams would play six times -- three home, three away. In the eight-team Conferences, a bit more manoeuvering would be required.

Teams in the conferences of eight would play either five or six times per season on a rotating basis; three teams would play each other six times and four teams would play each other five times. This process would reverse each season.

The top four teams in each Conference would qualify for the playoffs. The first-place team would play the fourth-place team; the second-place team would play the third-place team. The four respective Conference champions would meet in the third round of the Playoffs, with the survivors playing for the Stanley Cup.

It also seems like a recipe for the contraction of Phoenix and Columbus. And moves north by both the Panthers and the Lightning.

I hope everyone stuck with it long enough for the chorus line of Ollis to show up.

Can someone tell those retards in Pittsburgh that Marian Hossa only ever played 32 games in a Penguins sweater? That's even a game less than Brian Campbell played as a Shark.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
