2025-26 PWHL season

Timothy A said:
The best of 5 makes sense to me in that the PWHL regular season is only 30 games, whereas the NHL regular season is 82. I am thankful it's not a 3 game series, which I hate in all sports. Being a non-hard core PWHL fan, why do they only play 30 games? That seems really low. Going to 12 teams they probably need to up the regular season to 60ish games and the playoffs need to be the top 8.

I was going to go back to my post to add that I'm happy it's not a best-of-3 because that would be garbage. I agree they need to double the number of games, but how does that then impact salary expectations. I think with the current number of teams the best-of-5 is ok, but definitely not for the finals. The finals need to be best-of-7 without a doubt. Once they expand the regular season they'll also need to expand the playoff format with number of teams that qualify and then also the length of each series. Maybe a best-of-5 for Round 1, but after that they need to go to a best-of-7 format the rest of the way.
