Maybe The KHL Is Onto Something

I was going to do another KHL feature on their Opening Cup* which is between the winner and finalist of last year's playoff finals. First, I thought that it was a dumb idea (mainly because it was a season game), but this might not be that bad of an idea. As long as its a pre-season game, introducing trophies to create/promote a rivalry. Here is a list of potential pre-season cups:

Capital Cup
Ottawa vs. Washington
(This was an actual game years ago, they should bring it back)

Canadian Cup
Montreal vs. Vancouver

Nature Cup
Colorado vs. Minnesota

Rocky Mountain Cup
Calgary vs. Edmonton

The Sunshine Cup
Florida vs. Tampa Bay

The Weather Cup
Carolina vs. Tampa Bay

The Bruiser Cup
Boston vs. Philadelphia

The Bird Cup
Anaheim vs. Pittsburgh

The "What Are We Doing Here" Cup (East)
Atlanta vs. Carolina

The "What Are We Doing Here" Cup (West)
Nashville vs. Phoenix

The "We Deserve Something" Cup
Chicago vs. Toronto
