Just curious!

We are all NHL!

Boston Bruins
Carolina Hurricanes
Columbus Blue Jackets
Edmonton Oilers
Florida Panthers
L.A. Kings
St. Louis Blues

These 7 teams are the first to relaunch their official websites under the NHL's more streamlined layout design, mostly modeled after the NHL's official website. If your team hasn't gone through its makeover yet, you can probably expect a redesign before the new season begins. As for the Vancouver Canucks, it looks like our redesign will occur sometime in July (according to a forum admin).

I don't know whether I like this new style yet or not. It feels like most websites would lose a bit of their individuality since all the team sites now look the same--minus the team colors. I also don't like how the photos are stored and presented using Flash. If you've visited Canucks.com before, you'd notice that all the pictures can be saved as they're not in a Flash slideshow, and most Canucks fans, especially those who enjoy making graphics, or those who just like keeping those photos, really liked this feature.

You may also notice that most teams, especially those with already existing message boards, may have switched to Invision Boards for their forums. Personally, I love the Invision boards. It has a lot of fun features to play around with, i.e. posting comments on member profiles, and it's great on a very active forum. Love the multi-quoting, quick edit, quick reply options, too. The previous board software Canucks forum were using did not have any of those.
