Any hockey fans out there?

If it was 4 teams?

You know what I meant. Lol

I disagree. This is a small tournament, just 8 teams total since we are only talking about how the conference gets broken out for seeding. In almost all scenarios that have played out over the years, the number 1 seed always plays the 8 based on end of season points. There is a huge incentive to win the conference during the season so I dont see the disincentive because you want to be the 1 seed and you really really really dont want to be the 8 seed.

I have heard that the goal was to create division rivalries by making playoff matchups. Seems unnecessary. And no one cares about Divisions.I have never heard anyone brag about winning the Atlantic or Central or whatever.

Jesus you guys can even take the fun out of nhl playoffs. Let’s do a policy compliance vs tv ratings matrix to spice this up!

I do find it ironic that have the league gets to play in the contest.

Excellent series. I was worried for Wild after Wallstedt misplayed the second goal, but he pulled it together. It seemed like Dallas lacked urgency after Wild tied it back up at 2. Next series doesn't get easier. Enjoy the rest and hope the Avs are rusty.
