Good job with the playoff seeding, NHL! This divisional format works so well and gives us great rivalries like... Islanders/Lightning.

Not sure why Saillias is gettin hate for bringing this up, I think it's a fair point. NYI had a better record then they should get home ice. I don't mind the wildcard system but if in the second round something like this happens they should adjust it to give home ice to the team that performed better in the regular season. Of course I didn't mind the old system at all and liked how it wasn't a set bracket, made you think harder for which teams to roll with in playoff pools because you had to think of the different scenarios on who would play who next.
