Thoughts to those in Fort Mac. Has nothing to do with how much I dislike this format but could you imagine if this would have happened last year when the WCC was there at this exact same time. The evacuation would have come in the middle of a game and the teams would have been in chaos. Thoughts with the evacuees there. While we cheer for a win - most there are hoping they still have a house to go back to and an arena to play in.

So Thursday we have 2 games that mean nothing to the standings other than who has home ice advantage, and a little experience for the playoff round. I know everyone is in favor o tourney format that could be more relevant, bringing some excitement to the games? What about 1 and 2 playoff, winner goes to the RBC and the looser plays 3rd spot from the round robin, winner to the RBC. At least that would be effective this year! Thoughts?

I think something like that would be a great idea. The round robin eliminating only one team is really a joke. That way at least some of the late games would mean something I'd think as a battle for the 3rd spot is a lot tougher than the battle for a top 4 place. The WCC format is just so bad for everyone.

Basically what you are proposing already exists. On Saturday, 1st place and 2nd place play, winner goes to RBC. Also 3rd and 4th play with winner playing loser of the 1st-2nd game. This gives 1st place and 2nd place 2 chances to get to RBC which is a bonus for finishing top 2.
