If you ask me its find the way it is right now. Every time you get to see a final series going in 7 it's something to remember. Not even close to the Superbowl but hey nothing can beat the Superbowl


Go leafs Go by the way

I think it depends on if you like the teams or not. If you do it's awsome and intrestingk, but if you don't like the teams watching two teams you hate (calgary vs tampa) was boring. It's also great because in a seven game series you have a better chance of maiking a comeback.
But i can't say one game is a bad idea because look at the nfl how watched it is.

I don't think that making the stanley cup final a one game thing would get people to watch more. I personally find it a lot better to have a series. This way the winner deserves to win! Well, in most cases anyway. But it eliminates "fluke" wins. Not to mention the excitment of a game 7 final!

It should stay a series. There would be no intensity with one game.

One-and-done would create more upsets though...I still hate the idea, but look at March Madness or the World Cup....much tougher to pick a winner when they could be gone in the first round.

This would make the regular season completely useless. Anyone can beat anyone on any given night meaning that the Stanley Cup wouldn't go to the most deserving team, it would go to the most deserving team of that week, regardless of regular season success.

The NHL is not like college basketball in that different teams don't have substantial funding differences, different admission requirements or different living regimens, etc. This makes the seeding from 1 to 16 logical because the #1 rank always has a great advantage over #16. The NHL doesn't have anything near that talent gap.

How are the choices yes or no? It's not a yes or no question. I think most people on these forums can agree on a series, but many were confused by the question, hence the 6-4 vote totals.

There are no stupid questions, only inquisitive idiots.

I think the NHL should back off the regular season to 70 games. Then, put 10 teams from each side in the play offs. 1st and 2nd seeds get bye's in the first round (no division leaders) and the first round is best out of 5 games. That would bring 4 more teams into the playoffs and give, at the most, 10 days break for the 1st and 2nd seeds. Then every series after that would be 7 games after that.

Going to a one and out would be goofy.
