    A wild-card play-in game sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard

    Yeah, I would be against the play-in game. I would rather have the 3-1-0 point breakdown. 3 points for a regulation win. 2 points for an OT win and one point for an OT loss. I would also like to see the shootout eliminated with one point going to each team in a tie. That last part would never happen. You are still putting an emphasis on winning in regulation, but rewarding competitive play as well.

    Please discuss an NBA style playoff bracket.

    In the sense that you remove re-seeding? I would be ok with it, but I don't really feel super strongly either way. I get both sides of it. It's hard to really argue with the NHL product when it comes to their playoffs.

    Yeah, I mean, there's no way the #1 and #2 teams in each conference (which is plausible in both the East and West this year) should be destined to play each other in the second round. Look at last year's Pens-Caps series. Furthermore, you can still have the #2 and #3 teams in the conference play each other in the first round (certainly likely in the East and maybe in the West if the Preds get a streak together), which doesn't reward a team performing well in the regular season nearly enough.

    Yeah, if I had the choice I would just have seeding done like in the NBA, but if doesn't happen I won't lose my shit. Ask me once the Blue Jackets get screwed and then I'm probably jumping fully in your camp haha.

    I don't hate it right now. As it stands, Boston would be playing the Sens, who are very beatable, and would play one of Columbus/Montreal, where I'd rather play Lumbus, but neither are too farfetched. It would kill me after two years of DNQ's to see the Bruins make it to the ECF and get murked by the Pens or Caps

    I hate it now haha. I just looked and we would play Pitt. That is terrible haha, given the actual points breakdown. Let's riot.

    I was seeing a lot of twitter peeps and just podcasts saying the Sharks deal for Hansen will look good if Haley is taken out.

    I'm legit convinced that isn't going to happen at all. Donskoi is back so there was only one spot left and it was between Sorensen and Haley and it went to haley.

    Joe Thornton has 1000 assists and is only the 13th player to do it but he is still not good enough for top 100 players.

    The Ducks power play that didn't score in the month of February would like a word with you.
