Official 2011-12 NHL Thread - Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings!

Hockey is back! After a summer of tragedy, it's time to drop the puck!

Who's the Cup favorite? Who made the best off season moves? When will Crosby return? When will Doughty sign?


And to start off the season, Mike Modano officially retired yesterday.

Anaheim fires Randy Carlysle after last night's win over Montreal and replaces him with Bruce Boudreau.

Unemployed for about 48 hours? Not bad.

From what I've read, he was walking to his office and met the GM waiting at the door. That would really suck.

Realignment for next season is as follows:

TOR, MTL, OTT, BUF, BOS, FLA, TB in one 7-team conference.
NYR, NYI, NJD, PHI, PIT, WSH, CAR in other 7-team conference.

ANA, LAK, SJS, PHX, COL, VAN, CGY, EDM in one 8-team conference.
DAL, STL, CHI, MIN, WPG, NSH, DET, CBJ in other 8-team conference.

Not sure why TB and FLA are in a conference with most of the northeast teams. I guess the NHL is trying to return to rivalries from the 80s and 90s.

I realize they needed to change something, but I agree. Two conferences would've been fine with me and do away with the "rivalry" shit.
