Yeah, not sure how I feel about all this. On one hand I want more sports, but on the other this feels so late. We aren't going to get any games until August at this point, which is just going to delay the next season even more. I'd rather call it a wash and literally wait one extra month for normally scheduled hockey in September.

The draft lottery, draft, and free agency can hold me over until then.

In terms of the format here, this is shaping up to theoretically be the hardest cup to win ever considering the amount of games to be played and the position these teams are in. I'm sure that won't stop every fan of every team that doesn't win from saying it doesn't count, of course. It would absolutely be a Leafs thing to finally end the drought with no fans, no parade, no celebration, and in a way which other fans will doubt the legitimacy of.

I also can't wait for one of the Penguins or Oilers to get the first pick because the hockey gods hate us all.

I would have been fine with taking the top 16 teams as well, which is easy to say when my team is in that group. The Blackhawks, Habs, and Wild shouldn't be rewarded for being mediocre and straight up bad, and the Coyotes scored like 11 goals over the course of the entire season, no one wants to see them play playoff hockey.
