NHL and it's not even close.


A sportswriter once wrote that if the NHL had scheduled World War II, Germany and Japan would still be in contention.

It's by far the best to bet on. That in itself makes it the most relevant

That's exactly why the NHL regular season is meaningless. Regular season excellence counts for nothing in the NHL. All that matters is getting hot at the right time. The Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup a few years ago even though they had more losses than wins in the regular season. That's like a 7-9 NFL team winning the Super Bowl. It's a complete joke.


His point is the team, or teams, who just missed out on making the NHL playoffs would also have a shot as well which is why the regular season is relevant.

the college basketball regular season being irrelevant view is annoying and simplistic. "everyone gets in the tournament and has a chance!!!"

except, no, not at all. a top 10 team will win the title per usual and the seeding and regional placement matters a shite ton.

I'm not saying it matters on the level of CFB, but it matters a ton.

I think the NBA Reg season only sucks bc of how lopsided the league is right now. But that isn't changing anytime soon with how it is structured.

a first rd bye + moving from 8 to 6 teams would certainly make the reg season more important but the playoffs are great so who really cares.
