When tragedy strikes and someone passes away the effect is felt by anyone who was helped by that person. Generally that means family and friends who have lived or worked alongside that person who are effected by the death. When that death reaches into the public space the list of people effected grows beyond the immediate friends and family. When that death is a hockey player in one of the most loyal and dedicated fan bases in the world that list grows to an entire province.

The new Central Division is not the same as it once was with the top two teams taken away from the group. The Central Division had been built off of the rivalry between Detroit and Chicago but that is no longer there. The Chicago Blackhawks remain in the Central Division while the Detroit Red Wings move to the Eastern Conference.

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.
