Wilderness Walk for 3-12-2013: GAME DAY EDITION!

Crumple up that, and throw it straight in the trash can, I was thrown completely off my game by something I noticed on the NHL Network. I know what your thinking, "Aaron, are you going to tell us you watched 2 hours of NHL Network and they didn't mention the Western Conference once?" I could only dream of that not at all rare occasion, in fact, it probably would have been better had they just gone with the status quo and forgot their was hockey outside of the Eastern seaboard.

They popped a graphic up that caught my eye, the Western Conference standings. The first thing I noticed was the fact that they had Vancouver in the 3rd overall position despite us holding the tie breaker. Soon to my horror, my worst nightmares were realized ...

C'mon! I know we are fly-over country and nobody gives 1 shit let alone 2 about what goes on up here, especially in the 8 months of the year known as winter, but this is just stupid. Oh, and, not only if we were now a 2nd Detroit team, we would somehow have a 1 point lead over Vancouver .... 1 of those damn Detroit's need to be moved to 3rd, and you can just throw Vancouver in the Pacific.

Enjoy the links folks!
