Week 8 – Canadian Madness This week we mashup the good ol’ Divisional NHL with NCAA Basketball and toss in some Canadian Pride for good measure. The current 30-team NHL sees no relocation, but sees expansion into Quebec City and Hamilton… getting us up to the oft-dreamed-of 9 teams north of the border and even-more-oft-dreamed-of …
Week 7 – Bigger is Better Busy work week delayed this week’s entry, but here it is. This week, we go all kinds of crazy. We throw caution to the wind and make the NHL the biggest league in North American professional sports — 36 teams! Florida’s unbelievable movement on the first day of free-agency …
So obvious, yet so deserved. Congrats, ladies on a valiant effort and great result. —Tom p.s. I don’t know who the the photographer of original image is, all credit to him or her (a.k.a. don’t sue me)
Week 6 – Get Real, Take Two! Thanks to a busy holiday weekend (and thinking about last week’s map a bit more), I’ve just tweaked the previous map a bit for NRP Week 6.

Word’s be going around in the last few days that the NHL is already looking into 2012 realignment and that the four-division set up is probably going to make …
Week 4 – The Devil You Say! All apologies to Kevin Smith, but this week, the biggest victims are the New Jersey Devils. The Devils have underachieved in attendance forever, and there are just too many teams in the Greater NYC area. In this make believe world, I could just has easily taken the axe …
We Maple Leafs fans are a sad, beaten-down, dejected… yet somehow optimistic bunch. That being said… this is what the other Original Six teams have done since our last glorious moment hoisting the holy grail. Stanley Cup Wins by Original Six Teams Since 1967: Montreal Canadiens – 10 Detroit Red Wings – 4 Boston …
Week 3 – Damn, that’s Cold Okay, I’m going a bit radical this week. This one is for all those anti-southern city folks. NOTE: I am not one of the anti-southern city peeps. I live in Texas, after all. So basically, with this plan, we’ve decided that the NHL hockey is a purely niche sport …
Nice look at what’s going on in the economy today, and how the real challenge is addressing challenges in longterm growth. Via Time.com: What U.S. Economic Recovery? Five Destructive Myths – TIME.
Congrats to the Mavericks on their championship. Cuban and company deserved it. Kudos!
