The NHL took another break this week with the All-Star weekend in full swing but they did not stay silent for the entire week. The NHL decided that this was the perfect time to announce the return of the World Cup of Hockey. It is far from a classic tournament as it began in 1996 and was only played twice, the last tournament was in 2004. With only two years of the tournament it has never been able to gain the traction that the NHL had hoped to find when they first introduced the tournament.

The Olympics are a great display of many sports that the majority of sports fans never look for and never really try to watch. They are a number of sports that are not followed by the majority of people and that only take focus every four years. They are not full of stars and only have a few people that are recognized outside of the four years between games. They are the forgotten sports more often than not and are full of the forgotten athletes.

The Newest name division might not have a name that rolls off of the tongue but it is pretty accurate. The Metropolitan Division is just that as it features some of the biggest markets in the NHL. It may not have the Maple Leafs or the Canadiens but the size of the cities that love hockey in this division are much bigger. It will feature two states that have some of the biggest followings in the game while also including some of the largest Eastern cities.

The Stanley Cup Finals would finally get underway as it seemed that this time may not even come before the season started. With a lockout to start the season the NHL was at risk of never seeing the Stanley Cup Finals this year. Thoughts of 2004-05 began to swirl with the players and owners locked in yet another battle over money while the fans suffered. In the end all would be solved as a new 10-year CBA was signed and the season was saved just in time.

The Chicago Blackhawks and the Pittsburgh Penguins would enter the NHL playoffs as the two biggest favorites that the playoffs have seen in a long time. It wasn’t always easy but both teams would make it to the final four of the playoffs and remain the biggest favorites. After all both teams had some of the most stacked rosters in terms of talent.
