Hey, incase you hadn’t heard… the NHL has realigned!

Which reminds me, I need to get my tires rotated….

Anyway, Ye Mighty Board o’ Gov’ners  approved what they are calling a ‘radical realignment’ to the current NHL alignment of two conference, six division configuration.  The new 4 somewhat geographically based conference configuration (someone needs to get these guys a good map, cause the one conference is for lack of a better word, really badly configured) that will allow each team to play against every other team twice, once at home and once on the road.  There are 2 - 7 team conferences, and 2 - 8 team conferences.

Yay!  Hold onto that excitement for a moment.

Within each conference, which they have appropriately named Conference A, Conference B, Conference C and Conference D, the teams will play against each other in a certain number of games depending if their conference has 7 or 8 teams. This may call for a flow chart of some sorts to follow.

Then there’s the playoffs with seeding, and reseeding. As long as there is no sowing of wild oats in the playoffs, I think we’re set.
