JCon Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I would still keep the East-West divisions. 1-8, 1-8. It would suck for say Tampa Bay to get first overall and have to travel to Vancouver, a 16 seed. Then the might play Pittsburgh who played against New York or Buffalo in the first round. West teams have enough travel already. Edited March 20, 2018 by JCon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if the NHL went back to this format....Winnipeg might play Pittsburgh in Round One. How screwy would that be...

But the time change and sitting on a plane every day probably isnt the best use of their time. Jets/Wild first round would be great for that reason. I hate when I see people hoping for a specific match up though...bad karma. We'll face who we face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivalries within the division/conference are fun, especially in the post-season. And you know karma isn't a thing, right...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are those who think the Jets not tanking and still ending up with Patrik Laine would indicate otherwise. GCJenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Jets have played one playoff series and we're still feeling the effects of the rivalry that was created. There is still heat between the Jets and Ducks. Rivalries are overrated. But, I agree, karma is not a real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 "Four days to 14 days is probably the range we’ve seen in the past," head coach Paul Maurice said when was asked for an ETA on the sophomore winger's return. So...see ya Game 1 of playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if he is out until the playoffs. But 4 days puts him back in the lineup on Sunday, 14 days puts him back in for game 81 at home against the Flames. In case anyone was wondering. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHeart Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Toby is done I know she said regular season, but I doubt he'll be in the playoffs Edited March 25, 2018 by iHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I felt they’d offfer him a new (smaller) contract but I don’t think so now. What’s the point. Spend the money on a mlre consistent option. Has chiarot done enough to earn the regular 3LD spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I assume that Toby will be taking a massive pay cut next contract... Way to brittle and soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
