"The more things change, the more they stay the same" is a saying I've heard before. And it applies here, as the AHL's divisional realignment will have the P-Bruins surrounded by familiar foes in 2015-2016.
The American Hockey League announced their 2015-2016 division alignment this week, and shockingly it makes a lot of sense.
I wasn't expecting the newly-westward expanded league to place California franchises in the same division as teams from Connecticut and North Carolina, but in a week where a professional league suspended a marquee player on the basis of "maybe" I've learned you can never be too certain with these fancy-suits-and-$1-hot-dog-deals-on-a-Friday-night types.
