St. Louis Blues fans have a love/hate relationship with the current NHL playoff format. It is one of those things that can benefit you in certain ways and certainly works against you in others.
As with anything in professional sports, you will get people that love it and those that hate it. Also, as with everything these days, those that hate something make the most noise.
The people that hate the current playoff format rail against the fact it does not reward teams that finish with better records. Their contention is that if the second and third place teams from one division have better records than those in the other division, they have to play one another instead of putting that matchup until later in the playoffs.
