Hockey vs. Football

[A Black Falcon]

'your team won't get in' in baseball isn't the problem of the playoffs but of the imbalance (as in yes most teams don't get in, but the real problem is that they had no chance) is the big problem. But still look at the last few years -- Arizona, Anaheim, and Florida? No one expected them to win... so there is definitely imbalance but it's not quite that bad off for most teams. There're only a few teams that are truly hopeless... and a few others that just have bad luck (like everyone else in the AL East; just about anywhere else Toronto would be a perenial playoff contender but here they're third every year...)

Hmm, so what do you think. When will the AL East deadlock end? It's six straight years now!
