With NHL Realignment a done deal, it is time to say goodbye to our Northwest Division rivals and hello to a new bunch in the unnamed Central Conference.

Cold days in Montreal

Via Kukla's Korner  |  December 07, 2011
It’s getting cold in Montreal, but winter will be much, much worse. Les Canadiens are flatlining. And it’s December. A terrible performance last night against Columbus in front of their home crowd, who have seen just four wins thus far, sealed it for me. This team just doesn’t have it - and it goes a lot farther than Scott Gomez. Sure, injuries are a large part of it, and...
