MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

In the Prince of Wales conference a couple of 3rd place teams knocked off the teams above them as Phoenix and NY Islanders move on to round 2.  Philadephia and Detroit both hold serve against the Wild Card teams who win a couple but fall in the end.  So we have Phoenix starting in Philadelphia and NY Islanders in Detroit as the division round begins.

In the Campbell Conference Toronto rolled through Florida and San Jose takes down Dallas for a rematch of last years Orr Division final.  Boston pulls the biggest upset of the playoffs so far as they drop Pittsburgh in just 5 games while Edmonton holds serve against Vancouver and earn home ice for round 2.  So San Jose is off to Toronto and Edmonton hosts Cinderella Boston in the division finals.

Playoff files are available on the website for Round 2 so go ahead and get them and get games rolling. 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 – 4 games overused, miss game 1-4 of each series

Rules Proposals can be discussed for the next few weeks, please feel free to being up any well thought out ideas for discussion and we’ll put out a ballot in a few weeks.  Thanks guys.
