    this argument is boring. any team which makes the MLB playoffs can win it all. only a handful of the NHL playoff teams can win it all. No one is picking the blue jackets to win it all if they get the 8 seed in the east this year.

    anyway, I'm sure we can agree that the nba is by far the worst. haha

    the kings won with an 8th seed the other year and the flyers also made a big run while barely squeaking in ... in mlb last year ... it so happens the 2 teams with the highest regular season winning pct happened to meet in the world series ... and if there are only 10 (really 8) that make it so sure their odds are better than 16 teams ...

    yes ... nba is the worst ...

    half of the kings team was hurt that year and they also added richards and carter down the stretch. they're an aberration as an 8 seed. they didnt sneak up on anyone. the flyers were the 7 seed...and a fluke.

    love how you take examples from the past 5 years of NHL and only last year in MLB. nice

    feel free to add your own backup ... the parity in the nhl isn't by chance ... you don't have the discrepancies in payroll like you do in baseball ... although, spending doesn't necessarily translate into success all the time ... for the most part it does ... is it any wonder the red sox and yanks have been in the postseason so often in the past decade?

    the parity in the NHL is because it's the only major NA sport that awards points for losses. In the East you take away Ottawa, Detroit, Washington and New Jersey's single point for a loss and suddenly those teams are not really bubble teams, same for the west 3 of the for teams are not bubble teams and Chicago would not b near as high in the standings.

    dude ... you still have to tie a team in regulation to get the point ... if you took out everyone's OT losses - the sens would only be 10 pts out of a playoff spot ... not great but not out of it ... there would only be like 3 teams out of the picture now ... compare that to baseball with 2/3rds of the season done - what percentage of teams would you say are out of playoff contention? ... a lot more ...

    and really - who cares if the NHL awards a point for OTL ... if that contributes to the parity ... so be it ... you can't tell me that on any given night - most teams in the nhl don't have a shot against another team ... frig ... the sabres (the worst team in the nhl) recently beat Tampa Bay and only lost 2-1 to Chicago ... despite dumping all their best players ...

    I don't blame the Sixers, losing badly is one of the quickest ways to get better in this NBA today.

    Actually it's the only way to get better. Some people here have been saying this for years...even when this team was drafting busts like evan turner

    to suffer through this season and not end up with jabari or wiggins would be such a kick to the nuts, i can't even imagine. parker looked like shit yesterday day though.

    You're right, if the Sixers don't get Embid, Wiggins or Parker( he did have a rough game) they will have another season like this one next year.

    I want to see them get one of those players and whatever they can get with the Pelicans pick in this years draft.
