Should Gary Bettman and the NHL RETHINK the Current Divisional Playoff Format?
Episode 1523
Friday, 3 April, 2026

Jay Zawaski and Mario Tirabassi dive into the growing conversation around NHL playoff seeding, including alternatives like a 1–8 or even 1–16 format. With Connor McDavid calling the Pacific Division a “pillow fight,” the guys examine whether the current system is producing the best possible matchups, or holding the league back. They also break down what the playoff picture would look like as of Thursday, April 2 under different formats, and debate whether a change would create a more competitive and entertaining postseason.
