Lets not get ahead of ourselves here, Caps still need to make it past Columbus.
I don't see Columbus putting up a fight anymore. They had a 2-0 lead headed home. They choked

Just as well they don't play the next game then, I guess.I don't see Columbus putting up a fight anymore. They had a 2-0 lead headed home. They choked
Because when Gretzky broke the league, the league stepped in and introduced rule changes. Best 2 teams meeting by round 2 is bad format but Penguins are also breaking the league right now.What's it have to do with Pittsburgh?

Actually, I couldn’t disagree more. Those Stars Oilers battles in the late 90’s were incredible. Wings Avs, Etc...New playoff format is boring and predictable. Doesn't give variety.
I know the NHL wants to create "rivalries" in the playoffs, but lacking variety from year to year is boring.... especially if your team isn't in it. Seeing the same 2 teams every year must be such a turnoff for neutral fans.

No.
And quite frankly, this is getting a little silly. GOOD TEAMS WILL MEET IN THE PLAYOFFS.
"Two good teams are meeting in the Stanley Cup final. Will league change format?"
I might be crazy, but my hunch is the Caps win this time (should they beat the Jackets).
