Thats even worse than last year! If I recall correctly we were the top seed last season and had to choose between hosting game 1 or having game 2/3 in Cgy. This year the top seed gets all 3 at home??
Am I misremembering this? Regardless, AHL playoff formats are awful and do nothing to encourage a fan following.
edit: Actually I looked it up and we had a bye in round 1 last season. The goofiness happened in round 2 and 3 where we chose to start at home but the lower seed team would get 3 games at home if it went the distance (best of 5). I still maintain that AHL playoffs and scheduling is terrible for fan engagement.
