Today, the NHL (@NHL) is holding it's Board of Governors meeting in NoCal (conveniently located near Pebble Beach) this afternoon, set to start at approximately 5:00-5:30 PM, CST. The biggest point to be discussed is the need for realignment with the subtraction of the Atlanta franchise and moving them to Winnipeg, who current resides in Atlanta's old southeast divisional spot. Care to know how that effects the Jets, who have to play divisional rival (no love lost between these two juggernauts) Florida Panthers six times? That's 2263 miles. Care to take a road trip to see the newest team taken on the 1996 Stanley Cup Finalists? Load up the car and the kids...you'll be driving for over 35 hours!
Anyways, the need to realign is there. No longer is it just a bunch of us Stars fans all bitter cause we have to watch 1/3 of our games start at 9:30 PM. There's a possibility would can come down today/tonight as to the future of the divisions/conferences. Stay tuned for details, as we wait to see if the Stars will return to the Central division, or if the league will do absolutely nothing.
