The first round of the playoffs for the Eastern Conference will be perfect 1-8 seeding



I can’t complain about the current playoff format when the matchups perfectly line up with the old 1v8 2v7 3v6 4v5 playoff format.

    Second round won’t be if the seeds hold.

    We’ll get 1-2, 3-4 then (although the chances of that are basically 0)

    OMG, are we really being treated to Tor vs Bos in the 1st round again?
    Im a caps fan, but im watching every single one of those games!

    Battle of Florida will also be fun to watch.

    Shame we couldn’t have the two Florida teams and the two NY teams opening against one another.

    Hopefully we get the NY matchup in the second round.

    Yes you can. Because you’re going to get No. 1 vs No. 2 in the second round.

    7/8 of these teams have more than 20 regulation losses… I’d be worried if I were you guys

    Didn’t the old format still have division leaders at the top regardless of points. So Florida would be number 2 not Carolina…

  7. I am so ready to watch the Rangers get stomped first round somehow by Washington
