| Bags brings up an interesting idea, if travel costs weren't an issue and every team could have at least a home and home with each other, why not just take the top 16 teams regardless of the conference. |

I know it looks bad if an Elmira would have to play an Alaska team,
but a best of five first round going 2-3 means only one road trip for
both teams.The flight cost for one round trip compared to a 2-2-1 series
between Elmira and Florida involving two possible flights if it goes 5
is probably the same. Could you imagine the fun of Alaska coming to Elmira
for two games then BOTH teams return together on the same flight to
Alaska  ! We would have to put the refs on the same flight to maintain
order. But serious, this would give our better 9th place team a playoff
berth while keeping one of their bottom dwellers from a playoff reward
they didn't earn. |

If travel costs weren't an issue, then each team would fly by chartered plane to most regular season road games. |
