[JMoney1988]

So I just WHL post a story: http://www.whl.ca/article/new-playoff-format-approved-for-whl
It's regarding a change to the playoff format, I think it's exactly like the NHL playoff format now, what does everyone think of this. I think there purpose is to make the road to the cup more fair...........
