I have an old cupon for buy one get one fries at Tim Horton's I can throw in. It did expire in 2011, but unless they read the fine print, the NHL will probably be none the wiser.

Tim's has fries?

SHHHH!!! Ol Gary may be listening.

Dunkin' Donuts has hot dogs now, which is great because I already go to Baskin-Robbins to get my oil changed.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

This is a first which I heard of a coffee/breakfast shop having such coupons.

No such deals exist here. Not at Krispy Kreme. Not at Winchell's. Not at Yum-Yum's. I don't know about such shops on the east-coast (Dunkin'), but I'm pretty sure they don't have those deals, either.

Half of the people posting their predictions aren't using the right playoff format...

It's really not that hard to get confused about:

As in the past, eight teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs, but not necessarily four per division.

The top three teams per division are seeded #1, #2 and #3 in their divisional brackets. So far, that is six teams of eight per conference.

Here's where all hell breaks loose: The last two teams are determined by sorting the remaining conference teams leftover, record-wise, and taking the two best teams from that pool. While the #2 and #3 divisional seeds meet each other, straight-wise, both these last two entrants become wildcard seeds and take on a #1 seed from each division, but one more thing clarifies which #1 does each of the last two entrants face.

Of the two teams from that pool, the one with the better record goes to the divisional bracket of the #1 seed with the inferior record compared to its counterpart #1 seed from the other division. Meanwhile, the one with the inferior record goes to the divisional bracket of the #1 seed with the better record compared to its counterpart #1 seed from the other division.

This raises the possibility of a conference bracket with divisions sending teams in an unbalanced way. For the Eastern Conference, there could be four entries from the Atlantic and four from the Metro, or three-and-five, or five-and-three. For the Western Conference, there could be four entries from the Central and four from the Pacific, or three-and-five, or five-and-three.

This can't be any more simple.*

Wrong thread. Sorry.

I'm just trying to clarify the new playoff format to the people on this board who made invalid predictions (sans kevsim1's post).

This isn't the thread for predictions. There's another thread for that.

That's fine. The whole Markham thing was kind of an answer to a question no one asked. I'm glad people are making the Copps comparison.

I hope Chicago similarly comes to its senses about building an arena on the south side for a crappier-than-crappy basketball team from the north side. Nahhh.

A second team in Toronto was never going to work, anyways. If Toronto were to have a second team, you'd have an NHL version of the Clippers. Toronto isn't a hockey market, it's a Leafs market.

I don't like that comparison.
