NHL Seeding Response

In response to Evan's response on the NHL seeding, I agree with his statement that division games should mean a lot and that the NHL should not change anything with how the playoffs seeds are determined. Right now there are teams that are ranked lower than other teams except these lower ranked teams have more points than the higher ranked teams. This is because when a team wins their division they are automatically placed in the top three. This kills all the divisional rivalries. This could possibly be one of the reasons that hockey does not contain some of the major rivalries like baseball.
