NHL Week in Review (November 17-23)
The NHL season would start with one of the biggest changes in the NHL as the offseason would see a new alignment for the NHL. The realignment would come thanks to the addition of the Winnipeg Jets in 2011.

So the newly minted Jets would be forced to take the place of the Atlanta Thrashers in the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference.

The NHL this season will be one that hasn’t been seen in a long time as they will only play a total of 48 games.

Can the rest of the Division Keep up with Vancouver (Northwest Division Preview)
The Northwest Division is yet another division that features a load of Canadian teams and some good American ones.

Can the Wings Remain Ageless (Central Division Preview)
The Central division has been ruled by two teams in the past years with the rest of the teams looking up. Last year however there was a new team that became the underdog story as the Nashville Predators took the second spot. The Predators were balanced by some gritty performances and were supported by the Stanley Cup Hangover. The Chicago Blackhawks were the 2009-10 season champions breaking one of the longest Stanley Cup drought since the NHL. Last year the Blackhawks suffered from the dreaded Stanley Cup hangover and had a bad season but still managed to make the playoffs.
