It’s the fact that we started with one set of playoff rules(top 8 make it in) and then it gets changed at the last second to include 12.... Every team currently in a playoff spot played harder and even gave up assets to be where they are at. It just ruins the integrity of the NHL, back in the 80’s it was understood from the get go what the rules were.
