Idea: Winner of the season series should start playoff series 1-0 in first round

[ES]

A shame I haven't made a complete list of the most idiotic ideas on this forum.

 

[alphabetical]

I think they should start up 4 games in the playoffs.

Well, it's something I've never seen before on HF, so I'll give you that OP.

This is a great idea.

To add to it, whichever team had fewer icing calls against them during the regular season should start the second game up 1-0.

And whichever team had the least beer sales over the year doesn't get any time outs during the series.

The NHL is a business.

Do you know how much revenue they make from playoff games? lol. They aren't going to get rid of a game.

Ya... this would be a hard no.

OPs thinking outside the box all wrong here

obviously if its somehow a tie it’s 0-0. However this means that it likely places more value in the regular season and with divison games. It also will cut down on how long the first round takes so hockey is over before the middle of june.

Yay or nay?

Why on earth would anyone think this is a good idea?

I never said it was a good idea or should happen. This is a discussion forum is it not? Yet people are getting offended over a discussion. You all disagree, ok let's move on with our lives.

The only thing to discuss is how dumb this idea is.

Make a good topic for discussion. It's way better.

what.... no.... god no....

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Simply terrible.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

There's way too much variance as to why teams lose games in the regular season. There's tough games schedule-wise, injuries, slow start to the season etc. So many things that shouldn't punish teams when the playoffs roll around.

Big nay.

 

[SUX2BU]

Stupid idea

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Yup, I think this one's done.
