NHL Puts Out New Schedule And Division Names

((HT: Sportsnet))

And, yes, those were crickets you heard with most of this announcement...

It used to be the Patrick, Adams, Norris, and Smythe...
Then, we got directional names for the six divisions they created...

Now, we have this...??? We're back to four...

The four divisions will be now be called Metropolitan, Atlantic, Central and Pacific.

The Metropolitan is made up of the Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Carolina Hurricanes and Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Atlantic has the Maple Leafs, Canadiens, Senators, Sabres, Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Central has the Jets, Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues.

The Pacific has the Canucks, Flames, Oilers, Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, Phoenix Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks.

FOSG Tim and Sid give the new names the appropriate amount of grief... and ask Sidney Crosby what he thinks...

Metropolitan...???

So, then are the 8 teams in the division all "Mets...?"

Ugh...
