I agree, if one of the elite teams wins, particularly recent cup winners, I think the result will hold up. If say it's a team that wouldn't make the playoffs under the normal format, yeah I could see a lot of angst over that. If any of Pittsburgh, St.Louis, WAS, BOS or TB win it'd be mighty hard to argue they weren't deserving or legitimate.if one of the teams who "belonged" in the playoff position wins it, I really don't see why it will matter. Every team is in the same boat in terms of playing the games.
I just hope we get our legs early on. And hopefully Jake can shake off the rust ASAP. As I mentioned previously the teams like BOS and Philly don't have the momentum anymore. Win or lose this scenario would seemingly favor a team like ours who at the time was struggling.
