I'm simply against awarding the Stanley Cup for this.

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. |
That article is based on some round robin tournament idea that was floated around before but that seems to be off the table in favour of these play in series.
And again, your “cash grab” point is useless. The league is a business. Let them make their Lost money back if they want. Everything is a cash grab these days. So what.
Four rounds of playoffs doesn’t mess with the integrity of the playoffs. Why are you avoiding commenting on that? You’re just so focused on the only thing that is different, you’re failing to see that the most important aspect of a season is still in tact. If they mess with the four rounds by shortening the series, then I get your point. But there’s been no indication thats happening.
