All I can say is bring it on! Man those would all be some great series. Old time rivalries "renewed". Rangers -islanders. Leafs-Montreal. Caps-pens. Damn...intense!
And for the west would be nice to see the jets in it. Man that place would explode in Winnipeg.

On the old system we (the Habs) would be the 2nd seed as a division leader/winner.

Pens-Caps
Habs-NYR
NYI-Leafs
Bolts-Wings

In the west it is doing exactly what is was designed to do. Limit the travel in the early rounds. Of course it can backfire when there are 5 teams from one division or wildcards that are reversed.
