This is a major flaw in the League and not fair at all.Yes it could still right itself but I think the 1 vs 8 format needs to be brought back.There are 3 teams behind Leafs with more points.It is almost laughable that these smart people that draw this up think this is good having teams with more pts potentially missing playoffs over teams with less points..Leave your thoughts but you have mine.Thanks p.s. If this was Bruins I would still feel the same way too.
and if you look at the pacific. Half that division would be 10th. Last year Colorado was 18th in the league and made the playoffs. The conferences were 16 and 14 for crying out loud.
hopefully this keeps up and one of Bettmans small Market southern teams loses out on playoff revenue. Only way he will make a change. Last year montreal got screwed. If Carolina does he may make a change.
the division system is dumb. If anything. Top 8 in conference get in. Seed 1-8.
the absolute best system would be 1-16 make the playoffs and you call your shot.
1st gets to pick what team they play. Then you can look at injuries travel records etc. It would never happen but it would be incredible
