We will see. I refuse to let them say Conference ABCD

Fuckers BETTER knuckle up some sweet names.
Philly, NJ, and/or the NY teams would make more sense travel wise for the Northeast + Florida conference but supposedly Pitt had the biggest issues with realignment if it meant they lost out on their in-state rivalry with Philly.

People on ESPN's comment board wondered why the NHL didn't take advantage of the Boston-New York rivalry in sports but it never really developed as a rivalry in hockey unlike in baseball and football. Bruins have the Canadian teams as stronger historic rivals than the Rangers.
