The NHL’s stupid playoff format is the very definition of insanity, doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result.
We know that it has been said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result. I’m not sure whether that definition applies to the NHL and its playoff format or to me forI get that the NHL does nothing to provide rewards for success and everything in its power to level the playing field. Thethat most significantly hamstring successful teams more quickly than others.
Those are inequities built into the 2-3 divisional first-round matchup. It happens just about every season. Last season, the Maple Leafs-Lightning first round matched the fourth-best and eighth-best teams. The format was different during the 2020-21 and 2019-20 COVID-impacted seasons. In 2017-18, the teams with the best records in the NHL, Nashville and Winnipeg, respectively, played in the second round, while Boston and Toronto hooked up in a 4-7 matchup in Round 1.
But why in the world do club owners go along with this folly? Why would owners who spend to the limit, hire the correct people, present a Grade A product , endorse a system in which their team has an inordinate chance of getting a maximum of four home playoff dates?
