Minny and NEW have definitely made the ECF more than twice, I’m not saying directly against each other. If you’re talking about specific matchups it’s the first time NOLA/WPG have been in a conference final together and BUF/WKP maybe the 3rd time?

My entire frustration is the lack of parity, which sucks. All of these teams except NOLA has won a cup in the last five seasons, and only one team that has won the cup in those last five is not in this matchup.

NOLA makes the CF for the second time in their three year history.
BUF makes the CF for the third straight season
WKP makes the CF for the sixth time in eight seasons
WIN makes the CF for the first time since S44, where prior they made it 3 out of 4 seasons

That is quite a bout of success for these four teams in recent history. Certainly good for all of them/you, but still shows there isn't that much parity at the moment.

It was either root for the team that drafted me that suck or say "Go [Insert team that ultimately eliminates your trash team]" and be happy with it upsetting all but 1 play-off team but that felt rather mean. So go Chiefs.

Was a great run Barracuda

Didnt end the way we had hoped for but def a step in the right direction. With the core that is there and the youth, its only an improvement from here

NOLA: on the opposite end is Chicago, which because of their expansion draft strategy may have helped propel NOLA to where they are.
BUF: Used to be a laughing stock since s25. They're finally getting some time
WKP: We just stronk. Could have been 7 if I was such ass one season
WIN: they had a mini run, a mini break, and now they're back.

For Buffalo it's long process with many setback. But good drafting and trading is paying off finally. Fun fact Buffalo has only traded or drafted thier players. Not a single FA has signed during the entire s40's

Or teams with ArGar are just bad? I feel like that's a little more likely.

I like how people misconstrue my "man I wish we could see some different teams late in the playoffs" statement and assume I'm mad because Los Angeles isn't a successful team or something.

LA gets all the good memes, it's not fair.

I get what you are trying to say but when did the SHL truly have good parity?

I have been here since S30 so my scope isn't that big:
S30: NEW/EDM/WKP/CGY
S31: NEW/EDM/TOR/SEA | NEW&EDM make the finals again. Different conference losers.
S32: CGY/MAN/EDM/NEW | CGY is 2/3. MAN makes their first appearance. EDM&NEW are 3/3

S36: TEX/NEW/CGY/MIN | TEX 2/7. NEW 7/7. CGY 5/7. MIN makes their first appearance.
S37: WPG/TOR/SEA/WKP | WPG their first appearance. SEA&WKP is 2/8. TOR 2 finals in 3 seasons 4/8 in total. Fist CF without NEW.
S38: MAN/CGY/MIN/WPG | MAN 2nd cup in 4 seasons 3/9 in total appearances. CGY 6/8. MIN with their 2nd CF in 3 seasons. WPG back to back CF.
S39: MIN/LAP/NEW/WPG | MIN 3 CF in the last 4 seasons ( 3/10). LAP 2/10. NEW 8/10. WPG 3rd straight CF.
S40: CGY/MIN/WPG/HAM | CGY 7/11. MIN 4 CF in 5 seasons, 3 CF in a row, 2 finals. WPG 4th straight CF. HAM makes first appearance.
S41: WKP/LAP/HAM/WPG | Start of WKP dynasty ( 3/12). LAP 2nd finals in 3 seasons. HAM back to back CF. WPG 5th straight CF.
S42: CGY/NEW/EDM/HAM | CGY 8/13 (Since S36 every 2 years in finals). NEW 9/13. EDM back in it again 4/13. HAM 3rd straight CF.
S43: WKP/WPG/BUF/LAP | WKP 2nd win in 3 seasons ( 4/14). WPG 6CF in 7 seasons ( 6/14). BUF first appearance. LAP 4/14.
S44: WPG/WKP/EDM/MIN | Same Finals. WPG 7th CF in 8 seasons. WKP 3rd CF in 4 seasons. EDM 5/15. MIN makes it again 4/15.
S45: EDM/WKP/TEX/MIN | EDM 3rd CF in 4 seasons. WKP 3rd straight finals, 4 finals in 5 seasons. TEX back in there. MIN 2nd straight CF.
S46: BUF/NOLA/MAN/MIN | BUF 2/17. NOLA first apperance. MAN makes it. MIN 3rd straight CF.
S47: WKP/CGY/BUF/TEX | WKP 5th finals in 7 seasons. CGY back in it again 9/18. BUF 2nd straight CF. TEX 2nd CF in 3 seasons.
S48: WPG/NOLA/BUF/WKP | WPG back in it again. NOLA 2nd CF in 3 seasons. BUF 3 straight CF. WKP 6 CF in 8 seasons.

In the last 19 seasons 18 CF's had one of these teams: NEW,WPG,WKP. The only exception being S46.
