If that happens I'm pretty sure this league would lose a lot of fans. That would be nail in coffin for me with NHL and I really love the sport of hockey.
Edit: I'm talking about the rules revised to favor the Pens, not use getting the #4 lol.

It could possibly get even worse for Pittsburgh. If they get even 1 point in their last game they could end up 15th or 16th OA.

For so many years I've spent the playoffs rooting for the Caps, and then when that fails rooting against the Flyers and Pens.
What the f*** am I gonna do now??

Enjoy an entirely stress-free 2 months of hockey? That's my plan.
EDIT: Also cheer on the kids Hershey.
I'm actually looking forward to some playoff hockey not really rooting for anyone. Easy to get in the mode with how terrible the Capitals have been since the first of the year.

I’m with you, last May crushed me. We had those mfers and peed our pants, we would have gave TB a better fight than Florida did. Looking forward to watching stress free
Im gonna bandwagon on the Bruins but also the Kraken. Would be sweet irony if Daniel Sprong scores a G7 OT GWG. I actually think im gonna put some money on him doing so.
Bruins a no go after there the Ward BS. They are the bottom of the success list.

My thoughts exactly. I plan to simply enjoy some playoff hockey and the shit-talking boards/controversial moments without a real emotional stake in it. I remember feeling just that during the 2013-14 playoffs, and this time a much better draft pick is hopefully in the works

Root for chaos? NYR/NJD stand out as pretty unlikable and I'll probably also root against BOS just to see how they respond. Ditto TOR, of course.
I'll probably root for the Oilers. A lot of Caps similarities there. And I find DAL pretty likable also.

I'm ok with most of the WC teams but can't root for anything from Dallas.
In the East it would be the Leafs and that's about it. f*** everyone else.
So chances are I'll be backing the WC team in the Finals.
Not mine but still sorta funny
Playoff hockey will be like Premier League soccer for me this year. I love watching the PL mainly because I don’t have a significant rooting interest in any team and I can just enjoy the sport. I like certain players and I’ve always been a bit partial to Arsenal because someone bought me an Arsenal t-shirt when I was young and I wore it all the time because I loved the cannon plus they wear red jerseys and underperform a lot so it’s like watching the Caps but I don’t have even a tenth of the passion for them that I do for the Caps so if they lose I just shrug and go about my day.
Playoff hockey will be like that this year. I have certain players I’m pulling for and teams I’ll bandwagon for various reasons and teams I’ll root against but I’m very much looking forward to just enjoying the pressure cooker of the playoffs without feeling like I’m going to throw up.

Some Bruins fans were racists towards him because of the loss. Perfect reason to hate whole organisation, you know.
