Good bye North West Division Title. It was nice having you for the past half decade.

Vancouver fan? I'm still really curious as to how they handle their goaltending situation.

So I found this info that shows that the Kings - Devils match-up was horrible for ratings like I thought. I do not know what the numbers are for Canada, but I would suspect them higher than the USA averages. Also, the statement below show how dreadful the support California fans give hockey.

Stanley Cup Final Audience Averages Since 2007 on NBC and NBC Sports Network/VERSUS

2007, Ottawa vs. Anaheim - 1.8 million
2008, Pittsburgh vs. Detroit - 4.5 million
2009, Pittsburgh vs. Detroit - 4.9 million
2010, Philadelphia vs. Chicago - 5.1 million
2011, Boston vs. Vancouver - 4.5 million
2012, Los Angeles vs. New Jersey - 3.0 million

"The Stanley Cup Finals averaged 3.0 million viewers over six telecasts between NBC and the NBC Sports Network, down 33% from the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals and the worst average since 2007 (Ottawa vs. Anaheim), which ironically also featured a California team. The most-watched game of the series was Game 6, which drew 4.93 million viewers."

Wow!  Look at those horribe ratings.  It just goes to show you that LA doesn't deserve the Kings.  It also shows you that the Blackhawks winning the Cup is great for hockey, so kleague should rig it where they win it the next fifteen years.

I can't believe that Minnesota signed them both.  They definitely should be a contender this year.

Not going to lie Kenny I am more like what the fuck than anything else. Are these guys freinds that wanted to play together?

Also, looks like I might have to take Minnesota more seriously now they might actually dominate for once.

To all Vancouver fans, I would love to see your holding of the division title end. SOON!!!

Clearly this is evidence Detroit should never be in the finals. Chicago is known to have the craziest lunatic fans right now outside of Canada that actually sport and shoot guns so the league should be looking out. Seriously though anybody, but Detroit, NJ, LA and Phoenix next year.

Yeah, they are friends. I was way too happy to wake up to that news. 

I can't wait to make bets every Minnesota-Colorado game. 
(I'll try and be more known around here to even it out)

The bad thing about betting you is I do not know what you dislike. I might just stick you with a centipede human and get us banned.

It will be interesting to see if Minny gels and wins. Just be careful with expecting to much I remember when the avs got Teemu Sellenne and Paul Kariya at the same time and were expected to win. Kariya got hurt almost all season and Sellenne had a bad knee and had his worse season ever. Doubt that would happpen, but I am happy to see tif they win a lot more, but lose against the avs.

Wow Parise and Suter to Minnesota...looks like this is the NBA now, Minny trying to buy a Cup. I hope they fall flat.

I was really hoping Suter would go to Detroit. But I'm pleased with Phoenix picking up Sullivan to replace Ray Whitney. I hope he stays healthy, and should be good for 20 goals or so.
