MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Prince of
Wales goes as planned as the Islanders easily down the Sabres who get
no goaltending and no offense but the Campbell sees the biggest upset
of the playoffs as Colorado takes out San Jose in a 4 game sweep to
move on to their first RHL Cup Final. Great seasons for Buffalo and
San Jose but they stumble at the final hurdle and our Final is
Colorado vs NY Islanders, teams with 29 points between them in the
standings but the way the Avs have played this should end up being a
good series. I have
included the usage rules for those who need them.
Download the Finals 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 the Finals. 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.
The lottery
was run today and we have the order set for the top 8 spots in round 1
of this years draft. First ball out was #43 and the #1 overall pick
stays with Los Angeles.
After taking out LA’s 45 chances, the next ball out was #20, so
Florida stays #2 in the draft.
And after removing Floriday’s 20 chances, the next ball out was
#10 and Chicago stays at #3.
This may be the first time in the lottery where no one changed
positions. The order is
listed below.

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.

Injury backups may only play if the

Once a goalie has made his maximum allowable starts he must follow
all rules for Injury backups as stated above.
