Exactly, it's just the fact that the chaos we did get is all-timer chaos that makes it seem wilder than normal lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They easily could've won in five and then couldn't get one more save in three straight games. It's not an indictment of the playoff format nor does the entire sport need an overhaul, they just choked. It's not like they got destroyed like when the Lightning were swept by our beloved Columbus Blue Jackets. 1 seeds lose all the time. The Avs losing was an upset, yes, but they were only 9 points better than Seattle and struggled with injuries and the cup hangover all season. I'm not stunned they lost in the same way as I am with Boston. That series was a coin toss so really our dude is mad about one series. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 If you want the "best" teams to win the league championship, watch European soccer. Same with the little pockets of internet who say that North American sports need promotion/relegation. That ship sailed 150 years ago. (It more so comes up in regards to MLS, and then sort of to other sports, but that would dry up their expansion fees if the MLS did that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this guy tried to paint UConn's title run as less-legitimate because they won their games by too many points and surely would have lost if they weren't blowing their opponents out. His posts shouldn't be taken seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 This feels like it could be a popular opinion: The old playoff format/bracket was far better. Bring back conference 1 thru 8 seeds regardless of division & reseeding after the first round. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round 2 if there was reseeding BTW it would look literally different from this one: FLA/CAR TOR/NJD SEA/VGK DAL/EDM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The Vegas Golden Knight statistically are a wild team: 14th in goals scored, 11th in goals against, 9th in goal differential, no 30 goal scorer or players with 70 points And yet they have home-ice throughout the West despite stats that are not as good as some WC team They aren't a goal scoring juggernaut ala Edmonton, nor do they compensate defensively ala Carolina How are they doing it?

Unocal Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 So far looks like these Panthers are the reincarnation of 2021 MTL (Down 3-1 round 1, win 2 OT games, seemingly cannot be stopped) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 EDM and VGK should have played last night. TOR/FLA and VGK/SEA should be playing tonight. The 2nd round scheduling is absurd. To think last year round 1 EVERY series was every other day with no 2 day breaks in between games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
