Previously the Red Wings and Blue Jackets had remained in the West in the Jets proposed conference but this newest version has Detroit and Columbus heading East.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
