Hockey is so damn hard to win consistently. Especially Stanley cups. How many times do we see a Presidents Cup trophy team win the whole thing? It’s getting rare. Playoffs are the worst gauntlet of the 4 major sports Tired of seeing lower seeds getting hot down the stretch, used to be cool but its way to common in hockey where the 5th seed or lower do major damage.
Problem is the Bruins have only been able to pull one out of their ass with so many good teams over the years. Pretty frustrating as a fan. I bs you not, if the Bruins win the presidents cup next season I feel like they have a 20% to go all the way with the way this format is. Just too many teams in the playoffs and too many teams in the league overall. Btw the league shape up divisions was a laughable joke,
To play devil's advocate, I prefer this 1000 times out of a 1000 to the NBA, where the top seeds win 90% of the time. Much like the NFL, in hockey at least you know if your team gets into the dance there's a reason for you to watch them there.
