2011-2012 Season

And again Chip, I will wait and see how you feel when the Flyers get left out for a team with less points.

Flyers are always going to win that division, so it won't be a big deal... :poke:
You could make the case that a team in the other conference now could make the playoffs with fewer points the way it is now.
Instead of 15 teams having that possibility, it's up to 22 or 23 teams.
Bettman is an ass, and a piece of shit. But he's only doing what the owners want him to do.
We're going to get to go through this all again next year when the Coyotes move to Quebec.

There is no way someone could win a division now and have less points than the 8 seed, no way at all. I like the current playoff system, the best teams should be in the playoffs. In fact, I have always said the change they should make is seeding by points not division winners. 1-8 based on points, division winner or not. THAT truly rewards you for doing good. THAT is how it should be. I am telling you, there are going to be teams in the Pens/Flyers division every year with more points than at least one or two teams that make the playoffs. My money is on the Flyers and Rangers being one of them within the first few years.
