1000%.  1-8 and re-seeding after is the best 

Feels like a major reason they didn't wanna do re-seeding is so they could do the stupid bracket sh!t like March madness, like we are all too stupid to figure out how to fill a bracket out if we had to re-seed.

FWIW it may be to make travel arramgements for teams. My wife and I booked  a room in Boston in October years ago to see the Head of the Charles crew races. Turned out the Red Sox reached the World Series that year against the SL Cards. Now Head of the Charles draws teams from across the country. Rowers from high schools, colleges, clubs, masters all compete over 3-4 days. My son was coaching a HS girls boat from Everett Washington to give you some idea. Anyway, ALL the hotel rooms within 25 miles of Beantown were absolutely full. Not even a Hotel 8 was available.  The Cards wound up getting rooms WAY outside of town. It was amusing to read how pissed the Cards were, because they were extremely vocal about the situation.

Anyway, though I'd like to see reseeding after each round of the playoffs, teams have their own take on the issue.

I'm at the Texas stars game tonight and there's a number of ex Devils playing tonight. Will Butcher, Muk, and NJD legend Aaron Dell.

Edit: and Studenic

I was there too!  Were you in a Devils jersey sitting with folks in a Pens/Leafs/Ducks jersey?

Also, don't forget Studenic!

Flyers fans have been gunning for Bedard from the day the season started.   Hard to believe there are 6 teams worse than them.   Seems like there are more teams that are an absolute dumpster fire than ever before.  

Yeah they won just enough to screw themselves, heh heh.  And yeah some really REALLY bad teams this year.

No, I had a a Jack Hughes tee on but hid it under a quarter zip. I saw a dude there in a Devils jersey but elected not to say anything to him when he didn't wash his hands in the bathroom LOL.

Crazy to see Will Butcher there. At one point I think I saw he signed an AHL deal with Texas but I must have forgotten. I was at the NJ v Tampa game in the playoffs where he scored that big goal from the point and now he doesn't even have an NHL job. What a fall.

It was a decent game to go to. I prefer when it is a bit closer but they're pretty entertaining. Goals, fights, hits, drama.

Looks like Butcher’s having a pretty good year for them, but looks like that’s his future…pretty good AHLer who maybe gets called up here and there if the big team sees some defenseman go down with injuries.  Looked like he might have a solid future, but once the protected minutes were lessened, he got exposed pretty quickly.

Doesn’t appear as though the Caps could be bothered today.  Rangers up 3-0.

Even worse, Kakko and Lafrenière both scored.  Cue the fallation of the Kid Line…

Caps get on the board!  3-1

Looks they’re starting to come to life after snoozing through the first half of the game.

Caps have played much better but can’t get anything past Shesterkin.  Tarasenko just scored to put the Rangers up 4-1.  Gotta think that’s that.

I didn't notice him defensively all night but he definitely still shows the offensive awareness. He and Muk were making some great passing plays at the point. It was kind of hard to get a feel for Muk though, the team was getting absolutely reked. SJ had a couple power plays and even the one they scored on Texas still looked like the more dangerous team. They just didn't stop.

I always check the away roster for any ex-Devils.  Good to see them still playing somewhere.

Lots of free chicken that night!

Yea! I wish I had gotten chosen to do that shoot challenge. Those dudes couldn't even hit the net, I would have walked away with 300$

The right move by Mercyhurst.  That was just such a sh!tty thing to do on Briere’s part.

Kane out for the Rangers tonight (lower body injury).  They’re also going with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen…Lindgren draws back in after having only played in one game out of the last several due to injury.
