NHL Mistakes

I will not give an opinion on the play in which the great player, Sidney Crosby was injured, an injury that will cause him to miss at least one game.

However, I have strong opinions on two matters in which the NHL has made the wrong decision.

First and foremost is that the top two teams in the regular season should never be meeting as early as the league’s quarterfinals, it is bad enough when it manifests in a league semi-final.

However, due to the inane “within the division” playoffs format, the top ranked Caps and defending champion Pens, the teams with the top two regular season points marks are clashing as early as the quarterfinals.

Next the 4 rounds of best of 7 is a contest of attrition, not necessarily of skill and talent.
