@Leafs_25 @mirtle @ThomasDrance Which is my point! If you play more games vs your division (albeit not very many more anymore) divisions should matter. If people want 1-8 seeding, eliminate divisions and conference becomes only determining factor for schedule.

@Killerdg93 @mirtle @ThomasDrance 1-16 unrealistic due to travel. I don't think anyone thinks that would, or should, ever happen.

English

Adam@Killerdg93·1d

@nm_nvan @mirtle @ThomasDrance Absolutely, go 1-16…. Otherwise go back to heavy inter division play

English

Neil@nm_nvan·1d

@Killerdg93 @mirtle @ThomasDrance I get that. I would rather they play their own division more. So just eliminate divisions at this point. No point pretending they mean anything if the schedule is balanced and you want 1-8 seeding.

Adam@Killerdg93·1d

@nm_nvan @mirtle @ThomasDrance That’s fine if teams played 6-8 games against each team in division

English

Neil@nm_nvan·1d

@mirtle @ThomasDrance Just eliminate the divisions then. What purpose do they serve if you want 1-8 seeding? Schedule is almost balanced for intra-conference games (3 games, and 4 vs a couple). Just advocate to have east and west conference only.

@nm_nvan @ThomasDrance NBA has divisions that don't impact the seeding / matchups. Seems to work.

@petvalu Your signage is unclear. Please clarify if "seniors" refers to the age of the humans, or the age of the pets.

@FreePeteyEP40 @PlayNowSports @rayferraro21 @Sportsnet Topping Yzerman would require 17 and a bit seasons scoring 40 per year. So, tbh, I don't think either will top the list.

I don't suspect there will be many bars in Vancouver opening at 5 a.m. on Sunday.

x - Spruce Grove Corey@corn_cwm

This is the difference. American fans bitch that they might need to wake up early to watch the game. In Canada, bars are like “we’re opening way early, come watch” and Canadians will be “Hell Yeah!”

@cselley 10 teams is plenty. Two pools of five. Play four prelim games. Top seed in each pool gets bye into the semis. 2 and 3 seeds crossover against each other in the QFs.
