Reichel wow where has that move been. Nice burst of speed. 4 goals with no points and a minus 3 from 98 is a hopeful sign that others can score on his off nights. O.T.lose in 6 seconds. Might as well had no goalie with an extra attacker. Geez. Well that's a wrap on a miserable season. Only really watched for Bedard. Nowhere to go but up. Right guys? One direction for our boys. Reichel has been so lost, it was surprising to see that burst. He and Nazar can really go. Slaggert will be here next year, bottom 6. |

Things can definitely get worse. Gary’s wife can attest being married so long. At least my wife's a girl. |

Why are you giving up so easily? I think there's a good chance the league miscalculated points during the season. If the management pressures league officials to find the missing points, and/or disqualify 15 other teams, the Hawks are still in the playoffs. And if that fails, we can always just storm NHL headquarters.

Hawks were so bad.
How bad were they?
Hawks were so bad they wouldn't have even made it if the NHL had The NBA's play-in tournament.

God help us if Buttman is ever stupid enough to try and replicate NBA’s “in-season tournament” and “play-in tournament” stupidity.

There is no reason for 82 game regular season. 65 games and then a bunch of round robin games like in WJC. More naked fountain time for Lari this way.

82 games and playoff format currently is fine as is, only change I’d want to see is going back to the 1 v 8, 2 v 7, etc seeding vs intra division.

In fact, I want to gwt rid of the wild card. I want 1 vs 4. Schedules aren't balanced. Why does a weaker division team get to ride their easy 5th place points to the playoffs? The playoffs are about winning championships. If you can't even be top four among teams playing the same schedule, you shouldn't be in the championship hunt. First win your own division via playoffs, then conference, then Stanley Cup. |

Make it so that each team at least has a chance if they get hot at the right time. Meaningless games can be entertaining. Especially if there were rivalries and more fighting. |
