Something that gets loss in all the equity discussion is the fact that Calgary would have made the playoffs I think the last two years if the top 16 teams in the league made it rather than 8 from each conference. I promise that if some big eastern market were in the same situation (missing playoffs with more points than playoff teams in the west), this re-alignment thing would look a whole lot different and happen a lot faster.
