MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Round 2 is finished with both San Jose and NY Islanders pulling upsets on higher seeds once again while both Washington and Pittsburgh continue to roll on and will host their respective conference finals.  In the Prince of Wales Washington will look to continue their success and slow down and Islanders team who have got hot at the right time of the season. In the Campbell Conference it is a family affair as the Taylor’s will face off for both conference and family supremacy and a chance at their first finals.

Third round files are on the website, roster moves have been made and the updated league file and Excel file are on the website.  Coaches for games 1 and 2 need to be out by Saturday and keep the series moving after this. 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.
