We tanked hard and got Bedard!! Happy Days!!
Thoughts? Would it drive up interest in the league, competition, or otherwise?
This is the answer.The only mid-season tournament I am interested in seeing the NHL at is the Olympics.
That was before the season, though, right? I would like something like that, but not during the season (unless it's the Olympics).Speak for yourselves, that World Cup of hockey shit was amazing. Would love to have that back.
yeah i think youre right actually, honestly just want that tourney back idc when.That was before the season, though, right? I would like something like that, but not during the season (unless it's the Olympics).
Preseason is fun because it's hockey after the summer break. Mid Season would be a nightmare.Speak for yourselves, that World Cup of hockey shit was amazing. Would love to have that back.
Toews actually lobbied for a system like that not too long ago.I wish it were more feasible for the NHL to have regular season series like in baseball. Where say Minnesota comes to town for 3 games in 4 days. Cut down on travel time and give a little more spice to regular season games. Rivalries happen through playing a team/player a lot in a row.
The amount of teams sharing a stadium with an NBA team makes it unrealistic sadly
It all matters in soccer leagues in Europe, it could work I guess but would be weird here.What in the world is the point of a mid-season tournament? Who would care about who wins it. The hockey regular season is long and grueling enough, not to mention the playoffs. Nah. No thanks. Olympics or nothing (a World Cup also acceptable if it doesn't have any gimmick teams).
Soccer is also way more popular and will get an audience regardless, especially the various cups that can also include teams from lower tier leagues. It also helps that these tournaments are well established and some have been going on for 100+ years already.It all matters in soccer leagues in Europe, it could work I guess but would be weird here.
To be honest the only fix absolutely 100 percent needed needed is for ensuring highest win percentage = most points in all scenarios.
Use ties as a tiebreaker only. In no world should the opposite be possible.
