Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4729639, member: 1969"] The old NBA and NHL playoffs of the 80's were a bit silly in terms of how easy they were to get in. The NBA had 16 of 23 teams get in, and the NHL an even more absurd 16 of 21 teams. That's a big advantage if we are looking at how quickly players back then got in compared to post 2000 players As an aside, some of the NHL teams that got in from the Norris Division were laughable. In 1988 the Maple Leafs got in the playoffs with what is the equivalent to a 26-56 season. [/QUOTE]
