Sodboy13 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 So what are they going to do with the Campbell Bowl and Prince of Wales Trophy?I'm still convinced/deluded that this whole four conferences thing is just posturing, and once Phoenix accepts its destiny, we'll have two geographic conferences of 15 teams each and go about our business.Barring that, they'll probably re-seed coming out of the conference playoffs, set it as 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3, and designate one for each trophy. Maybe even name the rounds the Campbell Final and the Wales Final.

Then they could create two more trophies for the other two. I suggest the Gary Bettman Award for Excellence for the conference Phoenix is in.

Lee. Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 There's a part of me that would love to see Ben Hatskin get recognized for what he did, but since he founded the WHA, that'll never happen. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 They could give them to the two Stanley Cup finalists?How would they decide who to though?It just occurred to me that we'll be seeing new types of banners. What sucks is that some teams will celebrate "Bettman Division Champions" for winning it in the reg season, and some will celebrate being in the final 4. Hopefully everyone celebrates the latter. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Why can't we keep the East and West conferences, bring back the old division names (or come up with new ones, the important thing is that they are divisions), and be done with it? I fear this will be the typical NHL scenario of "We have a good idea! Now let's overthink this and do something that ruins it!"

Don Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I've rethought my position on the playoffs. The Stanley Cup playoffs were the best postseason in any of the 4 major sports. Now theyve gone and made things complicated, and its very possible that the best teams in hockey wont make it unless they allow for some crossover.

GO2HELL Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Here is an example of what should happen. It's simple. Conference A and B are renamed as Divisions (With new names) in one Conference, winner of the conference finals gets the Campbell trophy. Conference C and D face the same treatment. winner of the Conference finals get the prince of wales trophy. Division format1 vs 42 vs 3Division finals are winner vs winnerWinner of that faces the winner of Division B, team with the better record gets home iceWinner of that faces the winner of division C and D in the Stanley cup finals. Team with the better record gets home ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now theyve gone and made things complicated, and its very possible that the best teams in hockey wont make it unless they allow for some crossover.I'm having trouble conceiving of a situation in which one of "the best teams in hockey" finishes in 5th place in any division. Maybe "the team that could surprise somebody if their goalie got hot after Easter" but not "the best teams in hockey."
