My opinion on the issue involves lengthening the season. Because the games are so short, the season almost ends before things get really intense. I believe that the more games we play under the league schedule, the more alluring and magnetic the league becomes.
Having said that, I would like to lengthen the season by 16 games to 56 total. This would allow for two options:
1) 4 games against teams from your conference and 2 against the other conference OR
2) 3 games against all teams -- which actually adds up to 57 games but accomodates for those who want fairness in schedule.
I absolutely believe if the season was lengthened everyone would end up enjoying it more, because lets face it, there are a TON of new people coming to this site (including myself) who are jacked up to play some NHL94 and would love a lengthened season. I can just envision there being 4 GENS leagues that all proceed through the playoffs and eventually we could have a champions cup tourney....ok I'm getting ahead of myself, but damn, this is so cool. We just need to lengthen the season!
