So again, on the NHL format, 24 teams in the playoffs.

0:33.7

There'll be buys, buy teams, there'll be eight buy teams, and then there'll be a playing round.

0:39.1

So the Bruins will get a buy, and the bubble teams will face off in a little playing round, best of five series, to get to your normal field of 16 teams.

0:50.2

How do you feel about that format, Mass? Is it fair?

0:53.9

Overall, I would, I mean, no, it's not fair to the, it's certainly not fair to the teams that are, you know, column seven, eight seeds that then have to fight for a spot, particularly if they have any sort of comfortable, you know, lead over anybody else for that matter. It's not, it's not fair to the three seeds either. I have to play in the first round. So I would tell you no, it's not, but under the circumstances, you're not going to get anything perfect.

1:47.7

Like we all sort of accept that, right? But those bubble teams, like, again, like a Montreal, like just be happier in it. Okay. So the teams that are out of it should be thrilled. Absolutely. The teams that are a seven or eight seed that were on the, you know, just inside the bubble,
