And rivalry games are always on Saturday nights.
The NHL needs to promote these rivalry games better

Yeah and at least in the West pairing up like this
Cgy/Edm Van/Sea
La/Ana SJ/VGK
Col/SLC Wpg/Minnesota
Chi/St.L Dal/Nas
Could develop some good geographical rivalries. It's not quite the post lockout NHL doing 8 Division games so you get bored of seeing Minnesota and only get Crosby once every two years. You might get sick of seeing the Oilers, but it should make you hate them more.
