Except both teams suck, so............. Television companies strongly disagree with you. They think both teams are super hot contenders. And they are dying to let you follow their roads to the Cup, while telling you about the OFFICIAL BEER OF THE NHL, the one you can enjoy while driving the OFFICIAL CAR OF THE NHL. Rogers is paying 5.2 billion dollars for TV rights in Canada. They ain't pulling in any ad revenue right now from the NHL. There is massive pressure to let big markets teams enter the playoffs.

Spot on, and most of the dopes will end up watching because they are desperate for absolutely anything, no matter how awful the watered down product will be.
Both teams were unwatchable at the peak of the season. Imagine the quality of play having been off for this long.

No question Montreal/Chicago are big draws, and both will make you drink, if you care.

Maybe do a NCAA tourney? Anyone could win if you’ve got a hot goalie (no, not that kind of hot, Lari). You could maybe add a wrinkle that you’re allowed 3 losses before you’re out after re-seeding. Break it down by conference at first and then you have a 7 game series for the Stanley Cup.

Hawks still don’t even make the playoffs in this proposal. How bad do you have to be for that to happen, Stan?

Hawks are going to sneak in and win the whole thing.
And then, instead of having an asterisk next to the championship, it will be considered an especially great and big and historical and important achievement to win a Cup in these difficult times. Legendary heroes will be made and stories will be told... Miracle on Ice II?
... just letting you know the narrative the networks will try to sell to advertisers.
