Montreal?
Nothing like expanding into a market where they considered just eliminating the team altogether.
And the realignment, and massive expansion of the playoffs.
I hardly ever watch Hockey or Basketball because half the league makes the playoffs. And the playoffs feel like they run as long as the season. (Just checked, and the NHL playoffs ran 2 months!)
Think about it, as it is the playoffs run too long.
In 1975 the series started on Oct 11, and stretched to Oct 22 with 7 games and a game delayed by rain.
This year it will start on the 24th and could run to Nov 1.
Will future generations hear about "Mr October" and assume he was good in the wild card games?
