MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Playoffs are here and we are ready to start playing games for the real season! Games are due by Sunday, May 8th at 9 pm eastern and good luck to all who are involved.  Some good series, especially the 2 vs 3 series in the Prince of Wales as well as the Carolina/Washington series.  In the Campbell round 1 appears to be more lopsided though San Jose/Montreal should be a good one and the Canucks will make the Panthers work for it as well.

Playoff Matchups

Prince of Wales

Carolina vs Washington
Anaheim vs Arizona
Buffalo vs NY Rangers
NY Islanders vs Chicago

Campbell Conference

Boston vs Dallas
San Jose vs Montreal
Colorado vs Pittsburgh
Vancouver vs Florida

First round files are on the website, rosters moves have been made and the updated league file and Excel file are on the website.  Please get coaches out for games 1 and 2 by Wednesday and keep the series moving along after. Remember that all injuries this year are coaches decisions BUT all players are limited to the exact number of NHL games from last year, so plan accordingly.  The playoff usage is shown below, make sure you are taking this into account when creating your coaches for each round.

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.

**** IMPORTANT  - Action PC Game File Update dated 1/24/2022. 

You need to send out game exports as well as boxscores after each game and your playoff series need to be complete by the deadline listed for each round. Game summaries are nice as well and just adds to the league and makes it easier for everyone to see what is going on.
