The Kings new conference.

Every time I look at that map I fee like the league started grouping cities together and forgot about tampa and florida.

No, it's just that the Penguins and Flyers would not agree to be split up. Once that isn't possible, it starts to get much more complicated.

Pacific (us), Central, Atlantic, and Metropolitan are the names of the divisions. Metropolitan is awful.

Could they get any more corporate? Holy genericism Batman!

Metro division is a head scratcher.... Funny article about the twitter reaction on it.

Well I heard "The only division people care about" didn't go over well with the other teams and fans...

Sorry, but when I saw 'Metropolitan' the first thing that came to mind was 'metrosexual'. My partner responded to the news with a "what the ..... heck is that?" "That" being the choice of words, not the meaning.

Now, she and I are as liberal and accepting as you can get, but our sense of humour and good natured teasing knows no bounds. So, with her team being the Penguins, my self appointed role as agitator, to her immense annoyance, during Penguin telecasts just got light years easier than it already was.

Thank you NHL and NBC for a wonderfully awful choice of words.
