havent seen this threads over last 25yrs when west dominated but now that east is better here we go with discissions.
I hate the division leader thing. It's evened out now but at the beginning of the season there were 2 metro teams pushing out better teams from the Atlantic.I Like the idea of a top 3 from each division gets in and then 4 WC spots for the next 4 teams.
Using today's standings the 4 WC are Columbus, carolina, Mtl, Dallas.
Dallas the worst WC gets Tampa
Mtl gets Calgary
Carolina gets the Caps and
Columbus gets the jets.
Or you can seed them 1-16 2-15 ... at that point if you want.
I wonder if Dallas and Colorado would have more points if they got to play Ottawa, Buffalo, and Detroit 4 times each year.
Sick of this narrative. Those are 24 easy points for any Atlantic team.
They also play Tampa, Boston, Toronto, all top 5 teams in the league.The Habs also have Detroit/Ottawa/Buffalo in their division that they get to play a bunch. Does as anyone really think the Habs have 92 points if they’re in the central where there is no soft divisional games?
Teams from the East have always been weirdly obsessed with the West vs East thing.havent seen this threads over last 25yrs when west dominated but now that east is better here we go with discissions.
Yup, some type of inferior complex.havent seen this threads over last 25yrs when west dominated but now that east is better here we go with discissions.
That was an option?
Wait, what?
I'm 99% sure you just made that up.
It makes zero sense for Toronto to be in the East while Montreal is in the West.
what ? i need a stronger coffee
That's some advanced level trolling.
It doesn't really "come back around eventually"for all teams even though it did for Montreal.
That said, this has always been an issue that there really isn't a solution for.
It's honestly always been the other way around. It stemmed from the fact that the west was much better but eastern teams still got more attention due to east having majority of the population and media. So western teams fans would constantly point out that the west was better.Teams from the East have always been weirdly obsessed with the West vs East thing.
Can't say that's true, at least here in Canada. Sure the east gets the media attention, but it's always been eastern fans that would constantly point out how the east actually is just as good, or would come up with some argument for their conference.It's honestly always been the other way around.

It's a cowboy jealousy thing that starts in early childhood.Yup, some type of inferior complex.
What comes around is all aroundMontreal could've taken Detroit's spot in the West back in 2013, but their loss I guess. Plus the Habs made the playoffs in 2010 over 3 teams in the West that had better records. It all comes back around eventually.
I don't really get bragging about conferences. I mean, as a fan of a team, wouldn't you want your conference to suck? I'm not exactly proud when rivals are tearing it up.
I think its exactly the opposite. Critics usually say X team isn't as good as you think it is because they regularly play against weaker competition. Fans don't brag about their team by saying their team if good but they would be better if they played in a different division or conference. Its only critics that say that because they're searching for arguments to prove X team isn't very good.It's just another way to praise your favorite team by implying they would be even better if not for all the great teams they play on a consistent basis.
