And maybe I'll become a Vegas fan since I don't really have a favorite. I'll have to see if they play the Stars in Dallas next season! Haha

Edit: I just looked at the schedule, and Vegas' first game is literally against the Stars in Dallas. Wow, that's kind of creepy. I may have to check that game out just for historical reasons alone!

In the NHL every team plays in every NHL city at least once during the season.

That's one thing I like is getting to play against every team in their home and yours. Sure it does suck from a rivalry perspective (you don't get to play your own division as much), but it's nice to experience the whole league every season.

They play in their own division plenty.

You already admitted in another post that rivalries are almost non existent so it doesn't even matter with the current alignment.

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

4-5 games isn't plenty. Rivalries could be helped though under a diff alignment.

Rivalries were strongest with the old playoff format where you had to play out of your division.
Maybe if the league gets to 32 teams, they can go back to that.
But watch, they'll realign and make 8 divisions, add some weird wildcard scenarios...

8 divisions wouldn't be bad if they do it NFL style with 2 conferences, neither of which are east or west conferences(do we really hear as much conference alignment discussion in NFL/MLB as we do in NBA/NHL?). But if NHL keeps it up, we'll have 4 divisions with 8 teams each lol. Nothing says division rivalry like Toronto vs Florida, Carolina vs Pittsburgh, Arizona vs Vancouver!

What scenario could NHL possibly come up with to mess up the WC spots in an 8 division league? 2 WC play-in games or something lol.
