Mike, that reminds me, I have been meaning to inquire about the 7 points home field advantage rule. I understand the concept of trying to give the higher seeded teams some sort of advantage, but isn't 7 points kind of steep? Thats like being able to start 4 WRs instead of 3, or getting a second kicker. I could see something like the home team getting the tie break in event of a tie, but wow, 7 points. I don't remember the P.O. scores from the playoffs last year, but with the number of <1 point victories this year you know its going to come up.
Mike, I will make a prediction, no a guarentee. The Predators will NOT beat my Nittany Dodgers this post season! (I'm not going to explain the reasons for such a guarantee, I'm just quite certain it won't happen
).
