MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
And on to the
playoffs we go, some interesting matchups and some that on paper look
pretty one-sided, but until we play the games you just never know.
In the Prince of Wales conference Philadelphia finishes on top
of the Horton and draws the #1 WC team in Chicago from the other
division as the edge out Buffalo and Carolina at the end.
Phoenix will head to St. Louis to start out their series after
the Blues finished strong, but the Coyotes get their coach back for
the playoff, so may be a tough out.
Detroit finishes on top of the conference and they get the
Buffalo Sabres who squeak into the playoffs at the last minute though
they finish the last few blocks strong so will try and give the Wings
a fight. The battle of New
York is the other contest in the Howe division as the Rangers get home
ice against the Islanders.
In the Campbell Conference the
Toronto Maple Leafs finish on top yet again and draw Florida in the
most lopsided series regular season finish-wise.
Dallas struggled after many deadline trades that moved older
talent, but still make it in to face San Jose who finished the season
fairly strong. Pittsburgh
just missed out on the top spot in the conference and get the second
wild card team in Boston.
Vancouver travels to Edmonton in what should be a good series between
teams that both had their spurts throughout the regular season.
Playoff files
are available on the website, please get the playoff conversion file
and import that first, then import the monthly update to make sure all
the matchups are set up correctly. Make sure you check the playoff
usage rules which I have added below for those who may not find them
in the constitution. Any
question, please let me know. Also, the following players have usage
penalties that carry over to the playoffs:
Patrick Sharp,
NYI – 1 game overused, miss game 1 of each series
Brett Pesce, PHX
