As a Hawks fan, I will miss the Canucks/Hawks rivalry that will most likely be diminished due to the restructuring.
However, in all honesty, the big rivalry here is and has always been Hawks/Wings. Most people in the area view the Canucks as sort of a joke, a team that is always one bad turn from completely losing their minds. Bobby Lu seems to be one of the most mocked figures on sports talk radio around here. The new system should actually allow for a lot more Wings/Hawks matchups in the playoffs, which should be great.
So...I guess I'm okay with it?
