I get it totally. That's why I'm against this format. I think some of you are so desperate for sports that you are willing to look the other way when it comes to integrity of the leagues you follow. Here's a good article detailing why the 24 team format is a sham and cash grab for the league that screws a lot of teams that had good regular seasons in the name of revenue. I'm simply against awarding the Stanley Cup for this.

The NHL has options, and all signs point to the league taking the wrong one. We’ll have no choice but to accept it and, hey, if it means hockey is back, sign me up. But it’s clear that if the league does go the way it’s headed, it will be leaving better options on the table and sacrificing integrity for revenue.

Brian Burke on the radio just now said the 24 team tournament was a sham and it should be 8 team for integrity. I'm not on an island here as some people care about the integrity of the sports we follow.
