	WGR 550 : NHL Rule Changes For 2005-06 Season
		For the 2005-06 season, Northeast Division clubs will host the Pacific Division and visit the Northwest; Atlantic Division clubs will host the Northwest and visit the Central; and Southeast Division clubs will host the Central and visit the Pacific.
		That's going to be reconsidered next year but given the NHL's plan to take a break for the Turin Olympics it doesn't seem to make sense to make the season longer this year.
		With the league's re-designed silver and black logo serving as a backdrop, commissioner Gary Bettman unveiled the NHL's "new look" which included a number of rule changes aimed at opening up the game and creating more offense.

		Eight teams from each conference will still make the playoffs, with the three division winners being the top three seeds and the five next-best teams filling out the bracket according to record.
