Hey there! I just read about the potential expansion of the NHL playoffs, and I have to say, I'm all for it! The idea of a 20-team playoff format with a play-in round sounds thrilling. Just imagine the excitement of a 10th seed pulling off an upset against a higher seed! It could create some intense rivalries and drama that we all love about playoff hockey.
The NHL has such a competitive landscape right now, with so many teams hovering around that .500 mark. Expanding the playoffs could give those teams a chance to shine and make a deep run, which would be fantastic for the fans and the league. Plus, more games mean more revenue, and who doesn't want to see the NHL grow?
I get the concerns about the logistics and the traditionalists who want to keep things as they are, but the current format has been around for a while, and it might be time for a shake-up. The playoffs are already a long grind, but adding a play-in round could actually enhance the excitement rather than detract from it.
What do you think? Are you on board with the idea of expanding the playoffs, or do you prefer the current format?
