This Canes/Flyers series is exactly why the 1 vs 8 format needs to be brought back

@CorePython The fact that in 2023 rangers devils was a first round matchup is a disgrace to the sport

@CorePython if they get rid of the loser point, the format wouldnt matter. - 2 points for a win in regulation, OT, SO. - 0 points for a loss ( because you lost). the better teams would make the playoffs, not teams good at being tied at the end of regulation.

@CorePython @Laf4MVP_ Carolina with a cake walk to the ECF just to get sodomized because they aren’t actually good

@CorePython This should be a first round series man this is a disgrace to hockey

@CorePython It’s game 1 on short rest … yall just love to fucking over react..

@CorePython Nah, just do away with conferences and divisions and just rank all 32 teams and make playoffs 1 vs 16 etc

@CorePython East has 4 contenders Carolina Buffalo Tampa Montreal The other 4 were pretenders

@CorePython First of all, get rid of Bettman. Secondly, go back to the old playoff format of 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, 4-13, 5-12, 6-11, 7-10 and 8-9.

@CorePython So tired of this 1-8 crying. You crybabies make it sound like certain teams shouldn't meet till way later in the playoffs, like round 8! There are only 3 rounds in conference play, so powerhouses are going to meet early. What difference does it make to play 1st or 2nd round

@CorePython Dude how are you a rangers and Mets fan and then an eagles fan…you need therapy!

@CorePython The flyers are the 8 here…by a lot The pens played dumb down the stretch and sunk themselves But they aren’t worse than the flyers And the pens wouldn’t give much of a fight to Carolina either

@CorePython It was one game. Carolina clearly had better legs. Let’s see how the whole series plays out before reaching a conclusion on the entire playoff format.

@CorePython Or hear me out if a team is really the best team in the league and the clear Cup favorite, it shouldn't matter who they play.

@CorePython Dude it’s game 1…Philly just played a hard fought series and had little rest time.

@CorePython Carolina just had 7 days off and sat at home...Flyers basically had one day on Thursday, practice then flew on Friday. Tippett out...I mean...🤷🏻‍♀️

@CorePython Flyers / Pens was a matchup of teams that shouldn’t have been in the playoffs. it was clear from the outset that if CAR got by Ottawa they were going to the ECF. I have to say I underrated MTL tho. I still say big game and perhaps an OT goal from Hagel. He’s a man possessed.

@CorePython Are you sure? Rangers wont make the playoffs for at least a decade if that happens

@CorePython Wild deserve to get to the Stanley Cup Final if they beat Colorado. 3rd best team in the Western (no home advantage so far) and playing the top 2 in the first two rounds is ridiculous.

@CorePython Nhl the only league that has their playoffs worsen round by round

@CorePython You’re a New York fan with #FlyEaglesFly in your bio. We don’t claim you; go be a Giants fan, cuck.

@CorePython Who would the 16 seeded rangers be playing?

Dylan Harper with a BURST of speed 🌬️ He's got 14 PTS off the bench for the @spurs!

@CorePython Yeah it’s not fair when you have to play a good team in the playoffs.

@CorePython it would been a first round series , flyers are a 8 seed

@CorePython Swap flyers for islanders in these playoffs and you would have got the same results round 1 and 2

@CorePython Wild, Colorado and Dallas fans should be pissed. Every matchup between these teams could have been the conference finals

correct me if i am wrong - but once u are in - u have the same chance as everyone else ! sometimes conferences are tougher than others but once ur in the only way to get the cup is beating everyone in ur way - period ! there is no whining in playoff hockey - please calm down and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year !!

@CorePython Can we maybe just hit pause and perhaps see if game 2 ends up being more watchable you have to remember that the flyers just got done with series against a team with a bunch of guys who were in high school when 9/11 happened and the quick goals gave them less time to adjust

@CorePython The bottom 4 teams were within 2 points of each other this season. And let’s not forget the Senators had the lead for exactly 0:00 of that series. The difference right now is negligible. If the Flyers ever have a lead, let alone win a game.. your point is invalidated.

@CorePython Canes otw back to lose in the EC final again because they finally get to play a good team.

@CorePython Puck Everybody

@CorePython Canes might be walking to a SCF only to get topped by whatever powerhouse is coming out of the West

@CorePython What? How would that change this situation?

@CorePython I am living this. The 1v8 gimmick was used so divisional play couldn’t play out like this. Get rid of the shoutout.

Pick teams with the biggest in your state today.

@CorePython You had a 1 vs 8 in COL and LAK in the west and the games were as close as you can get in a sweep

@CorePython 1800's style where they could legit shoot each other lmao😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

@CorePython It’s why Dallas v Minny is a disgraceful round 1 matchup.
