The Atlantic has the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Senators, Sabres, Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. The Central has the Jets, Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues. The Pacific has the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Arizona Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4outlaws Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Should be something normal like East, Eastern, Northeast, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 it should of been named after the classic divisions: Adams, Patrick, Smythe & Norris and the conferences should have been renamed to Wales & Campbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annatar Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm not a fan. Should have kept it as the Atlantic Division. North East should have been Eastern. Boom. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfMANhalfDONUT Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I like how the former Atlantic is not the Atlantic. Totally makes sense....right?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDevil19 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I agree with Mav, but keep the Eastern and Western Conference names. Why not Mid-Atlantic and Atlantic? I don't know. But the Metrosexual division definitely sucks. Bettman is a fag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da94wookiee Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 It's so amazing how the NHL gets everything wrong. The Metropolitan / Atlantic division realignment is such an idiotic scheme that it hurts my brain to think about. I love hockey, but for nearly 20 years the NHL has just made awful move after awful move. Division names don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. In my opinion, the single biggest problem with the NHL is that the season is way too long. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are always in the summertime, which is idiotic because it's ICE HOCKEY. The Stanley Cup should be awarded in April or May at the latest. That's one reason why casual fans don't care about the NHL. They lose interest. I'm looking forward to the '14 Winter Olympics, which they just announced that NHL players will participate in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team canada 'final roster' lists are already all over the place. I would've liked to see them bring back the old names for the divisions....or at the very least, the names of the divisions that were used in SNES A.....those were great. http://nhl94online.com/html/standings.php?lg=14&sublg=SNES-A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachMac Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I loved the Campbell and Wales Patrick, Adams, Norris, and Smythe. Wish they had come back. It was and is also cool when Chris Berman use to refer to the old NFC Central in Football as the Norris. Still does occasionally for the NFC North.
