I do miss the 1-8 format, but that just could be nostalgia, I remember in the early 90s reading in our local paper for the standings, looking to see where the leafs were, back than I only had 2 channels on tv because Cable was not around in the boonies lol, but my Dad got one of those big Satellite Dishes, everything changed than hahaKeep in mind the old format with 3 divisions would have the division winner rule still, meaning the highest the Leafs could finish would be 4th. Although maybe if they go back to 1-8 format they just keep the two divisions only instead of 3 and then have the runner-ups duke it out for spots 3-8. Or abolish division winners completely and just have it be a straight up ranking of best records 1-8.
