MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Round 1 is
complete and lower seeded teams rose up in 5 series to pull off the
upset. In the Prince of
Wales NY Islanders are the only #2 seed left alive and they will face
WC#2 Washington in round 2.
Buffalo tops Anaheim in 7 games and Carolina sweeps the Flyers
out of the playoffs for the other matchup.
In the Campbell Conference Toronto and San Jose both hold serve
and will have a rematch of last years second round.
Montreal and Colorado both pull upsets and will face off in
round 2. I have included the usage rules for those who need them.
Download the round 2 playoff
files from the website and do the normal monthly file import that you
would do during the regular season and you will be ready to create
strats and play games in round 2. Please get going on strats asap and
most of all have fun guys!

In the lottery
standings we have Los Angeles far and away in the #1 slot, with
Florida #2, Chicago #3 and Phoenix and St. Louis both tied for #4
(though the Blues finish with less ROW and will take the #4 slot with
the Coyotes falling to #5).
Boston gets the #6 position and NY Rangers and Vancouver are
tied for 7th but the Canucks take it with 1 less ROW, so
the Rangers are #8 in the lottery.
I will complete the lottery after round 2 of the playoffs.
You need to send out game exports as well as
boxscores for all playoff games by the deadline. This is MANDATORY,
both the exports AND boxscores please.
Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one quick comment
for all 4 games, just adds to the league and makes it easier for
everyone to see what is going on.

second part may be accomplished by a computer setting for road games
that is defined as a team being down by 4 or more goals OR by a home

Once a goalie has made his maximum allowable starts he must follow
