Also, it excludes the possibility to have two rivals play a series for the stanley cup final. All the rivals will play each other in the conference playoff. I don't like it. ^this

Quebec doesn't have an arena that is up to NHL standards. Quebec City is currently in the process of building an NHL compatible arena, but it won't be finished until the Fall of 2015.

The Astros are moving over to the AL. ecept, with the way things were set up, they needed to have uneven leagues leagues needed to have an even number of teams so that each team could play every day, because of the lack of interleague play(mostly)

I don't like it. ^this Yeah, but depending on the format the league adopts for the final four we could see two eastern teams play for the cup. Could be a better situation than an east vs west matchup.

MLB insisted it wouldnt only work with those number of teams. dont ask me how.

darren eliot now works for fox sports detroit and does the red wings post game show. last night after the game, they were talking about the realignment. they began to talk about phoenix. and keating asked eliot "next year, will the coyotes be in phoenix?" and eliot gave the most straight forward answer ive ever seen. it was just a flat out "NO. NO. NO." with his eyes closed and him shaking his head.
PHX is moving east, i just feel it.
