Philadelphia can now finish no lower than second

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Philadelphia Flyers have looked right at home playing in the NHL’s expanded 24-team playoff format, but head coach Alain Vigneault isn’t big on the idea of doing it for more than one season.

“To win the big prize , to win what everybody wants to win, to win four rounds, it’s the most demanding trophy there is,” Vigneault said. “I don’t want to take anything away from the other sports, but in my estimation it’s the hardest trophy to get.” The NHL developed its unique 2020 playoff format, which added a preliminary round to allow more teams a chance to qualify for the main four-round playoff draw, after its regular season was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
