commentary...

the divisional names are just out:the two divisions,in the Eastern Conference are the Atlantic Division,which includes the Red Wings,and the Metropolitan Division,which includes the New York teams(Rangers,and Islanders),the Pennsylvania teams(Pittsburgh Penguins,and Philadelphia Flyers),the New Jersey Devils,Carolina Hurricanes,Columbus Blue Jackets,and the Washington Capitals... the Western Conference divisional names are exactly the same as last year:the Central Division,which includes the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks,and the Pacific Division,which includes the Anaheim Ducks,the Los Angeles Kings,and the San Jose Sharks... the 2013-2014 NHL season includes the fact that every team will visit every arena this season,which not always the case,because i believe the NHL wants to showcase the new schedule...
