    I'd only like it if you can choose to pass. As a high seed, I'd let the other teams pick, and let them worry about who they play, while I'd want my team to be focusing on ourselves.

    Absolutely hate it. I still prefer the 1 vs 16 format, but the NHL wanted to go the cheap route, uh, I mean, foster regional rivalries. How'd that work out for Flames fans during the Oiler domination years? I actually felt kinda bad for them because those old Flames teams were very, very good (and had my all-time favourite player, Theo Fleury). I mean, it did create some great games/memories for me though, specifically because of the rivalry and both teams were great.

    I think the NHL is so nice and afraid of hurting everyone's feelings that 1 would just choose 8....2 would choose 7 etc haha

    try being the punchline for over 20 years during xmas get-togethers with old friends who are mostly Flyer fans .

    I have one buddy that to this day can get so riled up over the missed offside call that he has to leave the room lol (Isles-Flyers , 1980 finals)
