MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
Round 1 series
go pretty much to form, though the Rangers get taken to the limit by
Carolina and Anaheim and Philly go to a game 7 as well where the
Flyers finished strong to move on. The big upset was in the Horton as
Buffalo again knocks off the top seed dropping St. Louis in 5 games
and setting up a rematch with Philadelphia from last season.
The rest went as expected and we should have some tight second
rounds series this year with either team a good possibility of getting
the win.
In the Prince
of Wales Conference just like the regular season the NY Rangers get
the win late as they take Carolina to a game 7 before taking the
series to set up a second round matchup with the NY Islanders who was
right with them in the standings all season long.
In the Horton Philadelphia and Anaheim were tight in the
standings all season long and this series when the same way as the
Flyers win it in game 7 to move on and set up a rematch with again
upset minded Buffalo who tops St. Louis this time around and in just 5
games. We will see if Philly has a better answer for the Sabres this
time around.
In the
Campbell Conference no real surprises as Toronto powers to an easy win
in round 1 over Calgary and after some early struggles Montreal puts
away Dallas to set up a matchup with the Leafs in round 2.
Florida and Edmonton meet for the second straight year, but
with two very different teams as Edmonton decides to retool a bit and
the Oilers still take the Panthers six games before they put it away.
Pittsburgh wins a hard fought series with Colorado and sets up
a chance to take on the division winners in round 2.
Here are the
Round 2 matchups:
Prince of
Wales
Buffalo vs Philadelphia
NY Islanders vs NY Rangers
Campbell Conference
Montreal vs Toronto
Pittsburgh vs
Florida
Here is a
quick updated on playoff usage rules for those who may need them:
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)
Injury backups may only play if the
computer pulls the starter due to an injury OR the team is down by 4
or more goals at any time in the game (a mercy rule basically). The
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
coach making this decision when his team is down by 4 or more goals.
Once a goalie has made his maximum allowable starts he must follow
all rules for Injury backups as stated above.
There is a new
playoff file which you will need to download and then unzip into a new
folder called RHL2021Playoffs and then switch to that season in the
game and you should be all set.
If you are sending the same lineup for all 7 games then just a
regular coach should work. If you want to set specific lineups for
each game, then you need to use the Daily Lineups as it gives you a
lot more flexibility. As soon as you have your coach set for your road
games, please send that out to the league and your opponent.
**** IMPORTANT
- Action PC Game File Update dated 11/19/2020.
You
need to send out game exports as well as boxscores for all playoff
games by the due date on the website by 9 pm. This is MANDATORY, both
the exports AND boxscores please.
Game summaries are nice, even if it’s just one
quick comment for all games, just adds to the league and makes it
easier for everyone to see what is going on.
If I do not receive game exports after
sending updates on Saturday and Sunday, I will send one more
request directly about an hour before the deadline on Sunday.
Unless I get a request for an
extension of time, I will wait til the deadline and about 30
minutes later I will sim games so I can get
new files out before I go to bed Sunday night.
