Well it's the playoffs, so Vegas won't go on LTIR after being broken

Because what happens this year is irrelevant to the discussion - except that the Faber deal was designed to win "now" and has failed spectacularly.
Longterm the Kings were always going to lose that trade, but to lose it within a year? That's pretty damning stuff.

The current bracketing/seeding system is terrible. Add to it the lack of re-seeding, and it just doesn't work. The winner of Dallas/Vegas gets the best team remaining as a reward, while the two worst teams remaining get to face each other. Winnipeg gone too early and some team that wouldn't have beat them gets a free ride to the WC final. It's just broken.

I was just going to post about this. The reward for Dallas is to play the cup winners in the 1st round - and then the Avs.. that is just a nasty gauntlet for best conference record. Re-seeding would at least help a little. I read that a lot of fans complain about the arrangement, but that the GMs have no desire to change the current format.. was a quote from Buttman.. dont have a link.

Guess the Leafs will probably win again and force Game 7.

It's still about trying to manufacture rivalries by forcing at least two division matchups every 1st round.
Of course, we've played Edmonton three years in a row but there is no rivalry because we play the p***yest brand of hockey in the NHL.

It was the 2013-14 season.
The Kings were the first team to win the cup in the wild card format.

You're right. I misremembered. They were the first team to win in the new wildcard format.
There was some significance to the wild card format and the Kings.

Saw an article the other day on the Athletic suggesting 8 divisions with 4 teams each. You could still do 1-8 in the Conferences for the playoffs. As long as there is true 1-8 for the playoffs, I'm good with anything. I mean true 1-8, no ranking divisions leaders 1,2,3 etc
This format is more about the regular season schedule and how many times you would play the other 3 teams in your division, the remaining divisions in your own conference, and the divisions in the other conference.
I'm sure this has been discussed in other corners on this board, but I only visit here usually

i hate the intra-division only playoff format. I hated it as a kid, and i hate it now that it's back.

I wish people wouldn't use that word to describe the Kings because those are some of my favorite things in the world and are actually useful and productive. Can we call them wimps instead?

It's literally the worst f***ing format ever.
Watch Toronto win without Matthews.

I'm okay with it either way but if the format was top 4 versus bottom 4 points in the conference the Kings would've drawn Winnipeg, which is a much better matchup for the but so what? You play who you play.

Pfft. I'm rooting for the winner of Colorado vs Vegas/Dallas.
I mean, I am definitely rooting for the Canucks to fail if they win the series
But I want Edmonton gone in the quickest and most humiliating way so McDrai both leave the conference.

I'm not rooting for the Canucks either - I'm just rooting against the Oilers.
But of course a meteor striking the arena would be fine as well.

I'd rather they stick around just a bit so we finally beat them when we have the team to do so (hopefully very soon, of course). Might be a weird pet peeve, but it sure would leave a sour taste to have never gotten even just one over that duo.
