CharlestownChiefsESC -- NHL Keeps Pre-1929 Playoff Format
Here's one for me mine is if the NHL kept the format they had been using prior to 1929. This means that the 2 division winners get 1st round byes. Number 2 nad 3 seeds play each other. The winners play the division winners and the winners of that series play for the cup. In this I used what if sports, From 1929 to 1937 the play in round was a 2 goal aggregate series. The Division finals were best of 3, and the Stanley Cup was Best of 5. From 1937 -1938 the play in was a best of 3 while he division finals and finals were best of 5. Here's the cup winners below, The Montreal Maroons have a dynasty here. I have more detailed breakdowns if you want. LMK
