NHL season offers exciting storylines
MORNING BREW
The leaves are browning, the air is becoming crisper, and the days are growing shorter. it can only mean one thing: it's time for some hockey.
While NBA fans will be sulking through the next few months, the small population who can't get enough NHL action will be in for a treat. With many storylines heading into the season, all signs point to this being one of the most exciting in the league's history, but the most important storylines are light-years ahead of the rest.
NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN
The Colin Campbell era is over in the NHL, as Brendan Shanahan steps into the role of Vice President of Player Safety.
While the controversial Campbell was notably passive in his disciplinary actions over the course of his tenure, Shanahan has been ironically proactive in his first few weeks of duty.
Shanahan suspended nine players during the preseason, but it wasn't the suspensions that earned him praise, it's the way he has been handing them out. For every disciplinary action, Shanahan has been releasing a video featuring himself
standing next to a TV showing the play under review. Shanahan takes views — and the player on trial
— through the play, pausing and explaining what was wrong or right with it, then defining the rule for that instance before handing out a final verdict.
Shanahan has been swift and tough with his rulings in his quest to clean up the trend of dirty hits that have taken center stage in the NHL.
For the first time since 1996, the Winnipeg Jets will begin a new season in the NHL. After the acquisition of the Atlanta Thrashers by True North Sports & Entertainment — a Manitoba based company — the new owners moved the team
READY FOR TAKEOFF
to Winnipeg where they inherited the name and fanatics of the former franchise.
Aside from constant "white-outs"
— a tradition that grew to notoriety with the former Jets, who now play as the Phoenix Coyotes — the return of the NHL to Winnipeg has bestowed a new topic to discuss by the NHL Board of Governors, and it's one that seems to be pretty popular these days: Realignment.
The Atlanta Thrashers were a part of the Southeast Conference in the NHL, however, playing out of Winnipeg doesn't qualify regionally for that division. This means one franchise will be getting some new rivals.
The NHL has announced that realignment will be finished before the end of this season, and reports have identified three teams that are targets to be switching conferences: Detroit, Columbus, or Nashville.
After a disappointing Stanley Cup defense, the Chicago Blackhawks have retooled themselves ... again. The departure of many key players from the last few seasons leaves Chicago with only nine of the
HOW HIGH WILL THE HAWKS FLY?
25 players from their championship roster of 2010. But change is a good thing. Last year the Hawks were pushed around and bullied, but that won't be the case anymore. General manager Stan Bowman went out and got Jamal Mayers, Daniel Carcillo, Steve Montador, and Sean O'Donnell, among others, to make sure the only roughhousing comes from the boys wearing the Indian heads. Add that with the position change of Patrick Kane to second line center, and the Hawks become one of the more dangerous teams in the league. Sports Illustrated picked Chicago to win the Western Conference, anything less would be a letdown.

BASKETBALL
Preseason honors for team leaders
Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson have earned Preseason All-Big 12 honors for the upcoming season, the Big 12 coaches announced Thursday.
Taylor, a 6-foot-3 guard from Hoboken, N.J., has been a primary starter for Kansas each of his first three seasons in Lawrence and is the team's top returning scorer from last season. He averaged 9.3 points and a career best 4.5 assists a year ago.
A 6-foot-10 forward and Washington D.C. native, Thomas Robinson was selected to the All-Big 12 team by all nine opposing conference coaches, only the third player with that distinction. Robinson averaged 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds last season while playing behind the Morris twins for most of the year. With both twins now in the NBA, Robinson will be expected to shoulder most of the load for the Jayhawks down low. He was also recently named to the Preseason Wooden Award watch list, the award given to college basketball's best player.
Kansas begins practicing for the. 2011-2012 season next Friday, Oct. 14th with the 27th annual Late Night in the Phog, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
