A "Victory in the Bank" - A Radical New Playoff Idea

[thedddd]

I just read this, didn't know it was that old or even saw it before. What a way to start a horrible day at work, at least this will get me through it.


BTW....I am going to use my one free post in this forum so I can be the winner!

Ok so I made him -10.

I remember when I first found this thread. I read the first post and commented, it was already over a year old then I felt so cheated I missed it the first time around. I wish I noticed the dates on the posting though before I commented, because I commented as if it were current.

Lol.

No thanks. I was going to hold onto my no for later, but I'll use it now.

I am all about REWARDING SUCCESS and PUNISHING FAILURE.

We agree, that's pretty much what we've been doing.

IMO, these are the crowning jewels of this thread.


/one wonders why the OP didn't use his good idea in the bank...

-15 is pretty good, but c'mon people. I want to see what happens when the screen can't contain all the negs. Scroll bar? Second column? It's so intriguing.

THUMBS DOWN TO THE OP!!

And if you are felling bad about giving a thumbs down, here's what I consider to be the best SportsHoopla post of all-time that you can give a retroactive thumbs up to.

Oh God, that post.

And a little bit about dinosaurs.

Still a long ways to go to catch this thread.

We don't have the resources. The manpower. We may need reinforcements.

This could take planning, effort, a swallowing of considerable pride, etc.

However, the post likely already has the most retroactive thumbs downs, so we've got that going for us.

Lawyers are never happy.

If we have new posters, then this thread is required reading, no?

 

[Jared]

Agree. This should be "Stickied" (ewww) on the front page and all new posters should be directed there.

Great. New system and now we have to start all over again!

Also... this was due for a bump. I love re-reading this thread. So much gold in the responses.

The automatic win would have to be applied at the beginning of a series, not halfway through. (ie: Phone call to Gary Bettman prior to the start of the series. "Yes, we're using it." or "No, we're saving it." Click.

So much vision... and yet, the logistics are covered as well. Such a rare combo these days.

Shall we begin by breaking out the bullshit rating?

I vote we use the bullshit rating.

Had to give 43 a chill pill rating 'cause I'm half Ukrainian.

...So you get home ice advantage. Big deal. The Rangers may get wiped out by a red hot Sabres team. Season over. What? Season over. What? 50+ wins or whatever the top team has and season over.

What?

I guarantee you I'll suck more than 100 cocks on this forum.

How did I never notice this post before?
