Sidney Crosby gives his message to Gary Bettman
Sidney Crosby decided to send his message to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on All-Star Game weekend.
The Penguins captain would like to see the playoff format go back to the way it used to be:
Position #1 versus position #8 in the conference standings.
Position #2 vs. position #7 in the conference standings.
Position #3 vs. position #6 in the conference standings.
Position #4 vs. position #5 in the conference standings.
Position #2 vs. position #7 in the conference standings.
Position #3 vs. position #6 in the conference standings.
Position #4 vs. position #5 in the conference standings.
It was simple, effective and rewarded the best teams.
Today, it looks more like this:
Position #1 in each division against the 2 wild card teams.
Position #2 of each division vs. position #3 of that same division.
Position #2 of each division vs. position #3 of that same division.
According to Georges Laraque, the majority of players agree with Crosby.
Will Bettman listen to the veteran center? To be continued.
