Sucks for division winner 3, but guess it creates some competition among division winners going down the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 3rd division winner getting all three games at home makes sense. I’d have WC1 winner just get normal HFA so there is some benefit (even if small) from winning the division but not getting a bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bye or hfa is overrated....as we all know it's more important to be properly rested and healthy for the post season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like the WC1 is better than the third division winner a lot of the time and just happen to play in the same division as the top division winner. It would also completely eliminate travel from those first series and speed up the process (which then means one less day the top two division winners have to sit and wait). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one criticism of a best of 3 would be how long top seeds would be idle. A 3 game HFA helps that, and incentivises the other two WC teams to fight for a higher seed. I would be in favour.
