Even if a team like Detroit got it and posed more of a challenge for us than Washington, at least it would have been a new opponent. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much travel involved with that format. 5 hours ago, Albatrosss said: There are even amount of teams in each conference, no need for wild card BS EXACTLY! Just drop the wild cards and do it 1-4 in each division since they love their brackets. I'd prefer if they went back to 1-8 and reseeded though.

Sharpshooter Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 1-8 was perfectly fine. They're not dropping the wild cards. When I said the NHL will probably add more wild cards, I wasn't really joking. lol They'll be adding more teams soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that hasn't been an issue in the last 2 seasons. Top 4 teams in each division both seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted Monday at 10:20 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:20 AM Mark Messier and Adam Graves or Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider? There's a solid reason that we looked like tourists in the ECF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a solid reason that we looked like tourists in the ECF. Hockey is a team sport and as much as Messier is over Zibanejad. Graves vs Kreider is close. Kovalev vs Chytil is joke. 2nd line goes to this years team. 3rd line 94 blows this years version. 4th line is a wash. Big difference is on D. One legged Fox is no comparison to conn smyth Leetch. Beukeboom over Lindgren. Lowe and Zubov blows away Miller and Schneider. Wells and Lidster greater than on half of goals let up Trouba and Gus. Richter vs Shesty is debatable.

Let's not forget the third line grinder scoring a lucky goal on a wraparound. It's almost like winning the Stanley Cup is really hard, and a handful of very good teams don't win it, every year.

We didn't get anything out of the 3rd line except for the 1 OT goal by Wennberg this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted Monday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:46 PM I'm not going to view this, at least not now. I've had 30 years to revel in that magical run and see documentaries on it. At one point they were offering a box set of DVDs with every game in the the 1994 playoffs. My friend bought it and we watched a number of them. Enough already. At some point watching this stuff just underscores that we haven't won since and how long it has been. I completely understand how others may feel differently. Maybe I'll just skip to the part where Adam Graves is sitting in the stands in street clothes and says "...and the best part about it is that we never have to hear '1940' ever again." I can watch that forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted Monday at 04:36 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:36 PM (edited) I remember thinking that the Isles fans had lost their go-to chant at home and wondering what would replace it. Edited Monday at 04:36 PM by Br4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
