No bubble. No brackets. Back to normal. The season survived Covid. Extra bonus that horse racing won't interrupt a potential overtime game (good riddance NBC.) All round 1 games will be broadcast in the US on ESPN, ESPN2, TNT, and TBS.
The Atlantic division was extremely top heavy with the Bruins squeaking in with the wild card at 107 points and the entire Eastern Conference finishing at or above 100. The playoff teams were p much known by the middle of March and the last 6 weeks were about matchups.
Out west, the Central Division took both wild card spots leaving Vegas the butt of the cap circumvention jokes for the whole off season. Enjoy the golf course Golden Knights. You can thank the Perds, Stars, and Kings for keeping them out.
So we all know the drill. Red X time.
And the annual bracket challenge.
