12 teams, the 4 division winners would get a bye and the other 8 would play a best of 5 but only 4 games played (I give the higher seed a 1-0 lead). Then it's 3 rounds of best of 7 the rest of the way (I may give the division winners a 1-0 lead in this round as well).
And I don't believe that teams get rusty after 5 days off, that's just an excuse for losers.
