For the first round it's like the old Smythe, Patrick stuff?The playoff series are divisional, but with a slight twist. The top 3 teams in each division automatically make the playoffs and then 2 wild cards from either division make up the last 2 seeds. The top division winner plays the lower wild card and the other division winner gets the higher wild card. The 2nd and 3rd place teams in each division then play each other.

BigBubba Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What was so hard about 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5? Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Yeah, I'd rather do 1/8, 2/7, etc. Don't see how this any better. Too over-complicated. I'd say just go back to giving each division its own top-four bracket if the divisions weren't uneven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 But the idea of the wild card crossover was that one division in the conference was 4/8 and the other was 4/7, and that wasn't fair. With both divisions in each conference being the same size, but no crossover between the uneven conferences, it serves no purpose but to confound people.

Funky Bunky Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If not for a Daniel Cleary goal, we very well could have seen that uniform matchup in 2009. I may be the biggest Ducks homer on this board, but I'm not sure the Ducks are a true contender yet, give them a couple years. I think they could make some noise this year, but it will be at least a couple years before they get to where LA is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 But watch Silfverberg score 90 points and lead you guys to a cup just because he's a player who used to play for Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
