Sidney Crosby DMV, Realignment, etc.

So a couple things have happened since our last post.

The NHL now owns the New Jersey Devils and the Phoenix Coyotes now have a legit owner and will be staying in Glendale for awhile.

Sidney Crosby skipped the line at the DMV.  In other words....

Pretty bad that the Crosby story was big news.

We almost forgot about Realignment
