Right now if it was 1 vs. 8 it would be Colorado/LA but somehow the Oilers get that reward in this system.
I get the divisional rivalry stuff but 1 vs. 8 playoff system is better, makes the regular season games more important.

True but it sure was a great system in 2015 when the 8th seeded Flames beat the 6th seeded Canucks in the first round.
With that said I can’t think of many great playoff rivalries made out of this system? Boston beating Toronto maybe?
