New challenges for the 2011-12 NHL season. As you all know by now, Winnipeg is back, because the new owners purchased the Thrashers and moved them up there. As a result, for the first time since '99-00 season, no NHL hockey in Atlanta (or no ice hockey of some sort at the moment). The NEW Jets will play in the East, just like the Thrashers were from 2000 until 2011.
The new Jets will kick start the NHL's return to Winnipeg on Sunday against the Habs. The game will be on NHL Network. Those in the border regions of the US with a CBC affiliate can be able to watch the game. The Jets will then take on the original Jets on October 15, and it will also be nationally on CBC.
The defending Stanley Cup champions Boston Bruins will kick start the 2011-12 season as they host the Flyers Thursday night. Live on Versus.
The defending West champions Vancouver Canucks will start their season as they host the Pens Thursday night, and will be live on Versus cable and free-to-air on CBC.
So there you have it folks...
