20 teams in the playoffs?

[filosofy29]

I've often thought the NHL's regular season was somewhat meaningless. Let's take that leap to completely meaningless!

If anything, I wish there were fewer playoff teams and a prolonged 6-month season actually determined the elite teams, rather than including so many mediocre squads, especially in a sport so prone to random and unpredictable playoff results.

lol, seriously. Why even have a regular season??? Just start with the playoffs.

I like it the way it is.

Agreed.

Flames planning to drop from 9th to 11h in the Western Conference just to put me even closer into an early grave.

lol, I think my Sharkies are on the downward slope now, so we can argue over who deserves that 10th seed!!!

leave it as it is. man its good now. adding more teams is just a money grab that is all. I dont want it not one bit

Yup.

No way would I want the playoffs extending any longer. All that would do is create another lockout in however many years because of the extra playoff revenue that everyone feels entitled to.

I think they should go back to the old division names and contract a few teams.

Agreed, but especially with the bold. In my perfect world (that will NEVER happen, lol), they'd contract about 6 teams and then have two conferences of 12 and only 8 playoff teams.

Its perfect now, both in number of teams and in structure. That means it will probably be changed.

lol, yup.

+1

I wouldn't change a thing in terms of the playoffs. There are more Upsets in the NHL playoffs than any of the other major sports. I find it hilarious when a #1 seed plays it's ass off all season to get home ice advantage & they get beat in the 1st round. It's even better when an 8th seed wins the cup.

Sounds like people like it the way it is. Well, I have bad news people. I have a friend on the inside over at the NHL offices. He went to drop off some documents in Gary's office a couple weeks ago and he found this on his doodle pad...

I'm glad that he's finally listening to the fans. This should have happened years ago. The only thing that I disagree with is that the Penguins have to start playing so early. There's a chance of Crosby getting hurt before they play the Red Wings.

Man would this be terrible. You either have to deal with a longer postseason (it's ridiculously long now) and teams playing more games (more injuries and diluted rosters), OR you have teams on byes, which will kill any momentum. I'd actually prefer my team NOT have a buy. It's just far too vital in the NHL to have that momentum going.

Man, no love for the artwork. I thought it was one of my best posts... of all-time, son.

Wait, that's yours? Brilliant!

 

[pixburgher66]

loco, you on the twitter? I wanna tweet that pic, but not without recognizing you first.

 

[elocomotive]

Now I'm feeling the love!

Wait, that's yours? Brilliant!

Yes. The amazing thing is I have ZERO formal art training. That is just all raw talent.

lol eloco, I had to log in from my phone to view. Good work.

I'm digging the sound of the 2013 NHL Awesome-offs

I am not. I'm on Facebook and I feel like that is enough to handle already, though there is certainly some cool stuff on Twitter. I'm mildly tech savvy (as you can tell from my advanced graphics program that created that artwork to replicate almost exactly what someone could scrawl in a notebook in 20 minutes), but still kind of old school. And by old school, I just mean fucking old.

But pop it on Twitter all you want. Let me know what the response is.

You are quite the little artist there, eloco.

I'm not great at human portraits. But rocket ships? I can draw the shit out of a rocket ship!
