4 points separate 1st to 6th in the metro.
Who takes the top 3 spots?
Carolina and Philly are also damn good teams.
But.... but rivalries!!! People WANT to see Caps vs NYR or Pittsburgh again! Uncle Gary told me himself!This playoff format is a ****ing disgrace.
And the 3rd place team in the central would 1st in the metro
...and the top 4 teams in the METRO are either .500 or have a winning record vs. the Central this year.
CLB 3-3
NYI 3-2-1
WAS 2-2
NJD 4-2
Maybe I missed something but under the current system one of those six teams will miss the playoffs but under the old system one of those teams would also miss the playoffs. So in reality you're complaining that the Penguins are not good enough to make the playoffs under either system.
Good teams miss the playoffs every year and its not because of the seedings. Suck it up metro fans and welcome to a league of parity.
Carolina and Philly are also damn good teams.
It's unbelievable, and a big reason why I hate the new playoff format. There was nothing wrong with the division leaders taking the top 3 spots and the final 5 battling it out between the whole conference.
1 or 2 teams/fanbases are going to be fuming because there's a good chance they'll miss out on a spot that could have been there's.
