My Problem with the NHL's new rules
i know that they offically havent been accepted but i was reading the new "potentional"(im a great speller) rule changes and the one that i have a problem with the most is that now they want to add 2 more teams to each playoffs making a total of 20 teams in the playoffs. it was bad enough that 16 of 30 teams in NHL and also 16 of 32? for the NBA make the playoffs...the major problem i have with this is playoff boredom...critics and myself think the playoffs as great as they are are waaaayyyy toooo long... look at the nba playoffs this year i was extremely bored with it, each team had the chance to play 28 games(1st and 2nd round conf finals and nba finals) thats over a 3rd of the regular season.....ook sorry im getting off track with the nba....
anyway i think the NHL has some serious issues if there going to "reward" the 20th best team in the league at the end of the season with a playoff birth...its like when you played sports in middle school and everyone would get a ribbion even if you finished last....anyone else remeber getting a green "participation" ribbion?
so yes even you Columbus Blue Jackets have a chance to make it to the playoffs...
why even have an NHL regular season when 66.6% of the league makes "the playoffs"....why should 30 teams play 82 games over several months just to eliminate 10 teams...it just doesnt make sense
ok summary since i really went off on that one
1. NHL shouldnt even have 16 teams in the playoffs not to mention the new plan for 20
2. why play such a long season to only eliminate 33% of the teams
3. this will overall lower the glory of making to the playoffs
4. playoffs will be 2 months to long
any of your comments are welcome
i know this should be a happy day since the NHL will actually have a season next year....and im happy but this just hit a nerve
