The question is how much change are we really talking about with the proposal. How often would a division only have one team ranked in the top eight in the conference?<BR/><BR/>Are we talking about kicking out an eighth-place team in favour of a ninth-place team? Or are we talking about dropping an Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994210787989606308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198213.post-1129506220476619932005-10-16T19:43:00.000-04:002005-10-16T19:43:00.000-04:00Doesn't make sense to apply it to earlier years si...Doesn't make sense to apply it to earlier years since they did not have a schedule as unbalanced.<BR/><BR/>And I realize weaker teams would get it.

Who would have been in that was out, or out that was in, and what would it have done to the seedings?<BR/><BR/>That is, would it have really brought in a strong team that was "victimized" by a strong schedule, or would it not really have made much Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994210787989606308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198213.post-1129380218508105172005-10-15T08:43:00.000-04:002005-10-15T08:43:00.000-04:00My dislike of the Leafs came about long before Ott...My dislike of the Leafs came about long before Ottawa had a franchise - although I had some good feelings for the Leafs in the 80' but that could be because they had Bester in nets and I was in University and drinking alot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198213.post-1129348557492806132005-10-14T23:55:00.000-04:002005-10-14T23:55:00.000-04:00But I can't say yet I hate the Sens.

You should be rewarded with the amount of points. Plus the divisions aren't equally spread out in terms of talent so you'll screw over teams that deserve it.Yodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534106045598804424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17198213.post-1129311367453866532005-10-14T13:36:00.000-04:002005-10-14T13:36:00.000-04:00You're not wrong about that Pale.
