The NHL's Wild Card System Explained

[@mmjahink]

I like the idea of a wild card spot, but now that there's an even number of teams across both conferences, it should forgo this format and just do top 4 of each division.

Yeah I think so too

[@OmegaMaschennar]

Honestly not as confusing as MLB's wildcard system

Thank you❤

I miss the 1v8 2v7 etc playoff bracket. Made for the occasional high drama upset

[@vchozen]

perfect, thank you

[@BenchWormSports]

My pleasure - thanks for watching!

This rule makes people lose interest in the game because unless they google it, it's confusing.
