Having just updated the calendar and so gone though the entire schedule. I will say this sucks. We don't even play all the teams in our own stupidly-named division the same number of times.

So bush league. Way to go NHL.

That was never going to happen with four conferences, not until expansion happens. All to shoehorn in divisional playoffs... :shakehead

(That said, an equal schedule still wouldn't actually be "balanced," since travel and quality of competition and such can never be balanced. But the oddities are annoying).

Oh goodie. Expansion. Just what the league needs.

Greg ****ing Metropolit Division, really?

Yet another mario made monumental marketing mismanaged mess

That said, it is better than the Mario division. I cannot believe anyone actually entertained the idea of naming a division after someone that hated the league so much.

Just an FYI for the board, my wife and I are expecting a little one November 30, so I will likely be selling a bunch of my tickets for games around then. So keep your eyes out if interested.

I feel like the nerdly owners think its cool to have a former star player as a peer, and buy into his egocentric ideas. Or suck up to him with horrible marketing ideas. That said I am so happy someone hopefully Ted, said enough is a enough. We should all be forever grateful.

Could be worse. You don't root for the Cubs, do you? That's a hell of a fate to be born into. Anyway, congratulations.
