MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

So, despite my lack of involvement the past few weeks Round 3 went very well in game play if not in the actual results as neither series was very close and ended in 5 games or less.  Again make sure you are keeping a close eye on usage, positions and making sure you are starting games per the email I sent out earlier this month. Want to point out that both Detroit and Calgary had great seasons despite the abrupt ending but in the end we get the top two teams in the league going head to head for the RHL Cup.

In the Prince of Wales Conference, despite the two teams looking to be fairly evenly matched the Blues walk through Detroit in 4 straight games.  Only one game was a close, 3-2 contest, the rest the Blues won by 2 or more goals and it wasn’t even that close. St. Louis will look to win their first cup under new owner, Bill Dod, their first cup since the inaugural season though it is their 4th overall trip to the finals.

In the Clarence Campbell Conference, Toronto and Calgary play 4 very close games with just one 5-0 blowout by the Leafs, but unfortunately for the Flames they only were able to notch one win, a 3-2 overtime game on home ice to avoid the sweep and the Leafs will be off to the finals for the 6th time and the 5th time in 6 years (they won four straight cups from 2013 to 2017).  

Playoff usage rules are listed below, please be sure you follow these to the letter as I will be spot checking rosters to make sure no one is using a player more than is allowed.  Play the series at your own pace but they are due by the deadline, so try and not leave it all for the final weekend.  You may send a coach for each individual game or any combination that you choose, just make sure you are clear with your opponent what you are sending (ie is it for games 1 and 2, just game 1 so you can adjust after game 2, or you can even do games 1 thru 7 all at once if you choose). Any questions on the playoffs, please let me know before proceeding so we can ensure that we are all on the same page.

PLAYOFF USAGE LIMITS FOR SKATERS:

        1) 60 or more NHL games can play all playoff games (per series)
        2) 55-59 NHL games      6 playoff games
        3) 50-54 NHL games      5 playoff games
        4) 40-49 NHL games      4 playoff games
        5) 30-39 NHL games      3 playoff games
        6) 20-29 NHL games      2 playoff games
        7) 10-19 NHL games      1 playoff game

      PLAYOFF USAGE LIMITS FOR GOALTENDERS
      Goalies with 1-14 games may only dress as backups
      Goalies with 15-19 games may only start 1 game per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 20-24 games may only start 2 games per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 25-29 games may only start 3 games per series (but may dress as backups in all other games)
      Goalies with 30+ games may start all playoff games in a series (or may be dressed as a backup)

 

We have Pittsburgh, NY Ranges and Colorado to fill for next season, so if anyone knows of an owner who may be interested let me know. Also, if anyone knows that they will not be returning for next season, please let me know as soon as you can so I can see how many teams I need to fill.

Final regular season files are on the website.  Playoff files are on the main page of the website and have been updated for round 1.
