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 is the complete opposite of what Brian Burke said. He said 8 teams is the minimum for there to be integrity in the playoff. 16 is the traditional way and he has no problem with what the league is considering under the circumstances.
