I just love the idea of a full NHL tournament.
31 teams qualify. Best of 3 or 5 for each round depending when it returns.
Points percentage, divisional first — to cut down on travel. Means St Louis gets the only bye, but seeing how they’re reigning Stanley Cup Champs it’s almost fitting, and they’re probably ok to sacrifice first round revenue.
Even Boston gets rewarded for their first place finish by drawing last place Detroit in round one.
It would be wild to watch. And a lot of fun.
Calgary vs Arizona round one... less fun for us.
