It really doesn't mean much unless you back it up in the playoffs.Haha, nonsense!
By that logic the entire regular season is meaningless

Lucky for that dog thenNo, they just look like a lousy hockey team.
Also: I’ve never had a dog.
For the most part, it isHaha, nonsense!

I don’t know. For me it means I had the most enjoyable six months of watching hockey that I’ve ever had, and even if they crap the bed in the playoffs, I still had six great months of watching hockey. Can’t take that from me.It really doesn't mean much unless you back it up in the playoffs.
Fair enough.I don’t know. For me it means I had the most enjoyable six months of watching hockey that I’ve ever had, and even if they crap the bed in the playoffs, I still had six great months of watching hockey. Can’t take that from me.
The ironing is deliciousObviously not first place because no team has done it in 12 years, being the best team in the NHL. You gotta use stats that back up your argument, not decrease it fam.
Well yeah, it’s a bad ending for sure, but lots of great lives have bad endings, too.Fair enough.
I'm always pissed in seasons where the Avs smoke the league and fall flat in the playoffs.
You better hope they win the Cup now because that comment will be thrown back in your face tenfold.Suck it losers!

That being said, I'm happy for the Jets fans.
Or even if we drop the math for him:You know, being illiterate is something most people would be embarrassed about. It’s a shame that being innumerate doesn’t carry the same sense of shame, because then maybe you’d understand how wrong you are.
The President’s Cup winner has won the Stanley Cup 25% of the time since it was first awarded. There are 16 teams in the playoffs. Each playoff team has a 6.25% chance of winning the Cup. That means the President’s Cup winner is four times more likely to win the Cup than probability says they should. No other finisher from 2 to 16 is even close to that.
Surely you’re not daft enough to think that, with 16 teams in the playoffs, any one team has a 50% chance?! A 25% chance for any one team out of 16 is highly unlikely, yet here we are.
Math is hard.
I mean the advantage of finishing 1st (not just presidents, either conference) is that they play the lowest seed AKA the easiest match up possible. Seems like an advantage to me.Ditch the trophy and 'Regular Season Champions' banner and bs associated with it. At this point it's just a bad stigma to be associated with, with no real advantage. (guaranteed homeice ain't it).
Would be cool if you could get an actual real advtange for winning the reg season like a 1st round bye like in NFL/MLB but it'd be too hard to do in NHL with how long series are relatively.
Or even if we drop the math for him:
Good team more likely to beat bad team, but sometimes bad team does beat good team

That was true before this year, too. The Jets finished as runner-up to Nashville in 2017-2018.With the win, there are 6 Canadian teams who have either won the President's Trophy or finished runner-up.
Good catch.That was true before this year, too. The Jets finished as runner-up to Nashville in 2017-2018.
No one really remembers the regular season champion. I don't think players brag about winning that trophy either when it's all said and done.Not sure why there’s such a culture of shitting on this achievement. In many ways it’s harder to win the regular season than to win the Cup. Random Cinderella teams don’t go on a hot streak and win 55+ games.
With 32 teams in the league, we need to get to a place where we give teams their due for achieving something this big. Otherwise there’s not a whole lot to cheer for.

Ok? I don't really see what that has anything to do with winning the President's trophy. The fans and players cheer during the regular season because they want to qualify for the playoffs to have a chance to win the cup.1.312 times a year, millions of fans around the world cheer while their teams win regular season games. The players bleed for those wins and celebrate them.
There’s always that one guy in the back row who’s like “well it’s not like they won the Stanley Cup or something”.
Which of these do you want to be as a fan?
