So what you are saying is that it does not affect the top and bottom team at all and by round 2 this is all pretty much resolved. In rare cases it will take until round 3.
I dont understand the outrage here. The first round is a crapshoot anyways. If you dont finish first in the conference, why should you be entitled to playing out of division for a favourable matchup. I prefer the rivalry of a Boston/Toronto every few years vs a Toronto/NYI matchup because Leafs fans feel better about it...
