This is a good thing. Learn to love it.

Congrats on a big win for sure! A lot of players, most recently Crosby, have wondered about going back to a 1-8 or a 1-16 format where the top team plays the worst playoff team as a whole. This way the regular season means something and that teams are rewarded more frequently for their overall performance.
This is a historic upset and a very hard fought series win for Florida. A lot of players don't like the format and some despise how quickly the top teams meet in the 2nd round and just get beaten up.
