The NHL’s Newest Southeast Division City: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

We discussed this in depth (and what it could mean for the Caps) a few weeks back, but the Atlanta Thrashers are officially on their way to Winnipeg. It sounds like in the first season, the team-we’ll-all-want-to-call-the-Jets-no-matter-what-they-get-called will still play in the Southeast Division (even if they are in Western Canadia) before conference and division realignment takes shape a year later – with Columbus, Nashville and Detroit as your clubhouse leaders for a move to the East.
What will this mean for the Caps next season? Three road games for a divisional rival that’s 1,233 miles (1,984 km for our Canadian readers) away.
Funny side note: The announcement came at around noon this morning. As of 11 a.m., though, the Thrashers were still selling season tickets. Might want to refund those.

Hate to be nit picky, but Winnipeg is in Western Canada. They are Canadian. Canadia is not a word.
Go Canucks!

@Scott – was totally trolling for a response with that spelling. Bruins fan in me.
For penance, I will post my favorite Canadian ad of all time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXtVrDPhHBg

Well played, well played. I have in-laws coming down for a visit from The Peg in August. I’ll have to get them to bring some Jets t-shirts so we can wear them at the Cap/Jet games this winter…
