Conference Confusion

For starters, I want to stress that there are too many articles and posts these days regarding the business of hockey.  Too much about head shots, concussions, realignment, CBA, etc.  So this is why this post will be short and to the point.

For the life of me I can't understand why the league can't simply flip conferences for Winnipeg and Detroit?  If anyone has ever travelled across the US or Canada, it doesn't take long to realize that Winnipeg is much further West than Detroit.  From Toronto we can go to Detroit and home in the same day by car; try doing the same for Winnipeg.  It is a simple flip that the NHL will have to discuss for two years before pulling the trigger.  For all the progressive moves the NHL is trying to make these days, such as the promotion of Shanny, they are still dinosaurs compared to other leagues.  Another reason why we need to say goodbye to Gary.
