NHL 2011-12 Season

I am also hoping that Columbus can make the move over the the Eastern Conference.

Curious that Winnipeg stays in the East...

I disagree. When it comes to moving a team over to the Eastern Conference...I think Detroit has earned first dibs.

Nope Detroit stays in the West. Taking the Wings to the East would create an imbalance of power teams in the East.
I am with the OP who suggested Columbus or Nashville. Probably Columbus. That team is about equal to Winnipeg in rank and Columbus is in the Eastern time zone.

What ???

Your Kidding right ?

The Penguins are always above everyone else according to the NHL and the teams that make TV.

They are the darlings of the NHL, them and Sidney .....

You hear soooo much about them it makes me want to puke.

I about sick of the VS/NBC Sidney Crosby man crush.
I am overall sick of the Penguins. Last season they showed their character or lack thereof and took to gooning it up. That team has three guys that are under Colin Campbell's microscope.

Detroit's been trying to get into the East for many years now, probably 10+, they will be the first to go, IF it ever happens.

Chances are they make a lot of changes all at the same time, re aligning the conferences entirely.

Its really a shame. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another Pat LaFontaine or Eric Lindros situation.

Concussions can be tricky.
Some people are more prone to them but recover quickly. Others recover enough to be ruled ready to go but suffer long lasting effects that worsen with each collision.
Both Eric Lindros, Lindros' brother, in football Troy Aikman suffered multiple concussions and their careers ended early.
Not a fan of Crosby by any stretch, but I hope he can continue his playing career and not lose it to injury.
