I am not sure what’s more fun to watch
The Caps failures
The Flyers implosion
The 1-3-1 freak out

Arguably the Flyers worst player in this series Filppula gets one Murray should have been able to freeze.

Do you put butter on your pancakes?

The reason they went “back” to this format was to reward teams and make divisions important again because 99.9% complained divisions were not being rewarded. I like this system.

Have you cried about Milbury today yet?

This format blows because only the division winners benefit. 2nd place finishers in a tough division like Jets then have to pay a steep price playing the best team in the conference in the semifinals.

Let me find a gallon of ice cream and get my slippers on first

1-8 results in tanking
This at least prevents that with the WC. You’re supposed to win your division. If you’re good enough you got to beat them anyway.

I hate that part of it too, there is a reason all the other playoffs went to a reseed format so what does the NHL do? The opposite. Classic NHL.

They reseeded once it was a mess

Then they went straight 1-8 even worse. Then they gave the division winners 1 and 2 then went records.

I like this way as it incorporates tradition and 1-8. But we all know a hot goalie can screw up a run for any top seed (ask Washington)

Irbe stole the series vs Detroit then had to play the 2 seed
Halak did it to Washington and played a 4
Giguere went to a Cup as a 7 or 8

They did and everyone complained. That’s why we have what we have now.

Yeah but now people know, and like/prefer the NBA format. The NBA and it's playoffs are soaring as a result, doing what the NHL needs to be doing but isn't. Instead they have games on the fricking Golf Channel.

The Flames and Oilers should have been Campbell finals yearly from 81-94.

This way intensified the rivalries they already hate each other by game 2
