In club football the gap between the best and the rest has been widening, making it less interesting when you know who's going to win most games.

Really there's nothing that compares to the NHL playoffs where I feel like every team can win the Stanley Cup.

Has it? I feel the gap has always been pretty big, and rather than it widening more teams have been able to breach that gap in recent years. PSG definitely look like they'll be part of "the best" sooner or later. English teams look like they might finally be good in European competitions again and it wasn't that long ago that Juventus weren't even close to being one of the best European sides. Atletico Madrid too, wasn't that long ago that they were a team that disappointed every season, but now in the last few years they've won a league and made the final of the Champions League twice.

I remember a few years back when UEFA and FIFA nearly blew their tops because English teams where doing well, literally for like 4 or so seasons it was 3 EPL teams in the semis. Sepp Blatter was choking with rage, mind you the EPL teams at the time especially United, Liverpool and Chelsea were something else, I find the EPL teams add a wild card element into the mix for the CL.
