Comments on: NHL realignment may be bigger than once thought… http://puttingonthefoil.com/2011/07/nhl-realignment-may-be-bigger-than-once-thought/ Edmonton Oilers Blog Wed, 22 May 2013 02:59:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Racki http://puttingonthefoil.com/2011/07/nhl-realignment-may-be-bigger-than-once-thought/#comment-30679 Racki Thu, 14 Jul 2011 18:03:04 +0000 http://puttingonthefoil.com/?p=8889#comment-30679 I’m starting to get back into CFL, I think.

But really, I don’t mind the games. I actually am masochistic enough to enjoy watching every Oiler game. If I enjoy them this much when they’re a 30th place team, imagine when they actually start having a winning record…

With watching 82 games and playing my own 40 every year I honestly couldn’t give a shit by the end of the year. Playoffs are good. But really, regular season just doesn’t matter, no matter how the oilers are doing.

You need to pick up another sport, makes the off-season better.

My idea was to play less regular season games and more playoff games. Maybe the top ranked team would get a bye in the first round but get revenue sharing from the bottom feeders that are battling it out. Anyway you can look up my previous plan for all the details.

That’s quite a change over the 80s.

However, you hate the season being long because the Oilers suck. You hate the playoffs being too long because the Oilers are never in it. I love 7 game rounds, and hope that stays that way.

I have no interest in a 32 team league, but 28 would be nice. Dump Florida and Nashville… nevermind moving them.

Mid 70s # of regular season games.. mehhhh.. I could live with that, but I actually don’t mind the long season because I LOVE HOCKEY. It’s fine by me. Why do people complain that we have hockey in June? I hate June, July, August and parts of September because there isn’t much in the way of hockey. I have really no interest in seeing the season or the playoffs shortened up. In fact, I get withdrawals bad when we have to go 3 days without Oilers hockey, let alone longer. Leave it at 82 games, or close to that number. Who wants LESS hockey?! Really? I don’t get that, Steve-O.

Remove Instigator… duh.. unfortunately no one on the BoG wants this for some reason.

Bringing back the old names… all for it. Like I said, they changed the names because new fans need easier ways of figuring out what team is in what div, i’m guessing.
