#32 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 The finals for the 96 cup were best of 3. Now they're 1 game elimination. Why'd they make the change. The best of 3 format is what made the 96 cup so intense. I can make assumptions, but has anyone read anything explaining the official reason for the change (other than poor marketing of course).

Zero Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I wish it was still a best of 3. Speculation: Maybe the NHLPA didn't want the players on the final two teams to play so many games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 That stinks. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Because the World Cup is supposed to end right before (cough) training camp (cough)? From what little I remember of the '96 WC, it was earlier in the summer - I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
