This format was used into the early 80s,and needs to come back! It would create so many new rivalries. A rivalry like Boston-Toronto is so tired and stale (it isn't even a rivalry. Rivalries are supposed to go back and forth,not one team getting a free pass every year). Even with this,there's the possibility of two historical rivals facing each other in the Finals,like Montreal and Boston towards the end of the 70s,or Islanders-Flyers in 1980 (speaking of which,there could have been the remote possibility of a Rangers-Islanders final in this scenario - a very entertaining and underrated rivalry)

(flyers, devils, islanders, rangers, rivalry.)

100% agree with this, some of the matchups are getting so damn stale (looking at Edm VS LA, Bos VS Tor and FLA VS Tampa specifically)

[@CheesyMoose]

I love how both actual matchups that happened have the wrong winners

[@biwaifu]

Tampa sweeping the panthers? yeah right
