The NHL always seems to be trying to create rivalries. How about this: the top playoff seeds get to choose their first round playoff opponents from the lower seeds? You'd HAVE to hate the higher seeded team that picked your team right?! And your team has to beat the lower seeded team they picked or it would be such an embarrassment!

I've always thought this is the way it should be. The top seed should get to pick who they face (out of the bottom 4)
If a team is super hot going into the playoffs why should the #1 or #2 seed have to face them if they finished 8th (Think LA last season)
