Awesome to see our guys make it yet again, but does anyone else wish they would go back to the 1-8 seed format instead of the divisional format?

Yes, in the current scheme, we have the 2nd best record in the conference and will end up with what is equivalent to the 4th seed playing the 1 seed Capitals in 2nd round.

Looks even worse when you compare leaguewide standings to the bracket...

Dallas, as the #3 overall seed faces a top 10 team first round. Meanwhile, there is a scenario where Washington can lift the cup without ever facing a top 10 team.

I’m impressed with the Habs at #19 on a field of 16 in that chart. Maths.

16th, 17th and 18th best records are in the west, missing the playoffs all together.

Habs tied for 17th at present. will be interesting to see how it all shakes out end of season with the teams still fighting for the wild card.
