After the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in the 2019-20 NHL season, the league decided to expand the post-season to a 24-team field. Don’t expect the revamped format to stick around for the 2020-21 campaign, though. Details ⤵️

After the COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in the 2019-20 NHL season, the league decided to expand the post-season to a 24-team field.

“We’ve all enjoyed watching this and I was hoping it would create the momentum for the possibility of seeing this in the future… but this is not looking like it’s going to happen,”. “There doesn’t appear to be the momentum for it and it doesn’t look it’s something that’s going to be tacked on to future NHL seasons.”

If NHLBlackhawks or CanadiensMTL win the cup, it will definitely give people something to think about

Carey price skaters (they are last without him) were 10pts fewer than W.card teams. Did not deserve to be included. Play-in/non-playoff teams should've played each other first Please just go back to 1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5. End of story

Good. Now go back to 1 v 8

Thats not fair, we should all get a chance to play playoffs AND get a shot at the draft lottery like the Rangers did NHL

I enjoyed it but admit it would need to be tweaked. I’d also like to see the top finishing team get to select their opponent. Could add an extra storyline.

I didn’t even know this was even being considered

To the surprise of no one

Duhhh

i dont mind the top 3 from each division being guaranteed a playoff spot + 2 wild cards, but the format should go back to 1v8, 2v7, etc. division winners would be guaranteed 1 and 2 seed

We don't expect it too but please go back to 1 vs 8 2 vs 7 3 vs 6 4 vs 5 etc etc.

id hope not...

Need to go back to 1 v. 8 or 1 v. 16.

why would it lol
