Ah, but when he masterminds the bringing of the Cup back to Toronto and that parade is winding its way through Cabbagetown and past Allan Gardens... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 For the millionth time - this solution is so simple it's ridiculous - Two conferences - North and South - EVERYONE travels equally... especially since the current east coast teams have majority of the most viable franchises anyway and can afford it... and to those who will say "there are too many teams in the north" you separate it the same as how Detroit and Chicago are in the "West" now...

Millionth time? I've never heard it before, but I actually really like this idea--the biggest problem right now is that Western Conference teams go across all four time zones (with NHL teams) for the in-conference games (the vast majority), while Eastern Conference teams stay in the same one. This would eliminate that and make everyone travel a lot, although that obviously drives costs up too. Only thing is that I tried to split it out... South: Southeast Division, Pacific Division, COL, STL, NSH, CLS = 14 teams North: Canadian teams, Atlantic Division, MIN, BOS, BUF = 14 teams The two left? The Wings and Hawks. I don't want to split us up from our traditional rival, especially now that they're getting good. And I also don't want us in the South, I want to be with the rest of the Original Six, the other Canadian teams, etc. So you'd have to move someone from the North, but I consider everyone there to be a solid northern city. Maybe the Isles don't get the arena done, move to KC and make this easy. Of course, maybe the Coyotes move back to Winnipeg and make it even harder. There's probably not a way to do it without pissing off at least one team. But anyway, major to Vancouver for blaming travel for their sucktitude. Has absolutely nothing to do with counting on a career point-per-game player to be freaking Gretzky and singlehandedly elevate you from mediocrity. Nothing at all...
