So we're going to lose 4-3?

Bummer... I have a German RooR from the Amsterdam Shop sitting next to me, though I haven't been using it much. I'm pretty obsessed with my other toy, the Volcano!!!

What if the NHL adopted a 1-16 playoff format? The top 16 teams, regardless of division or conference, make the playoff and are seeded accordingly. This would get rid of stupid things like division leaders automatically getting a top 3 seed. It would also reward teams who got the most points, regardless of conference. According to the scheme, this is what the 2010 brackets would look like.
1. Washington
2. San Jose
3. Chicago
4. Phoenix
5. Vancouver
6. New Jersey
7. Detroit
8. Pittsburgh
9. LA
10. Nashville
11. Buffalo
12. Colorado
13. Ottawa
14. Boston
15. St. Louis
16. Calgary
First Round Match-ups:
Washington vs. Calgary
San Jose vs. St Louis
Chicago vs. Boston
Phoenix vs. Ottawa
Vancouver vs. Colorado
New Jersey vs. Buffalo
Detroit vs. Nashville
Pittsburgh vs. LA

There has not been one person on this board that says that Crosby is a bad player. Where do you get your stuff? Where did I mention anything about Crosby? I said that the East is a weak conference, which it is, and that the better teams get to coast to the eastern finals. There is no disputing this. The west owns the east on all fronts. Congrats on beating us last year, good for you, enjoy it. This is 2010 and no one owns the cup right now. Enjoy your snooze up until the conference finals.
No one here is going to respect Crosby, because he deserves no respect. He's a cocky, whiny, little girl. Also, your little franchise almost relocated and folded a couple of years ago, and was last in attendance. I'm glad that Bettmans marketing campaign got you and all your fair-weather fans to hop on the bandwagon. Congratulations.
