MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER 

Another regular season in the books, congratulations to Florida on winning the Commissioner’s Cup at 124 points, just edging out Pittsburgh by 2 points. Also, congrats to the 16 teams who made it into the playoffs, including Los Angeles who holds off a last day charge from Edmonton for the final playoff spot. More info on the playoffs to come soon, but below is a recap of the final block and where everyone finished up. St. Louis will hold the #1 spot in the lottery, followed by Colorado and then Toronto in the top 3.

In the Horton, it came down to the final set of games as Philadelphia needed to win 4 of 5 to get to the division title and other than a stumble against Buffalo, they did just that and win the division on the ROW tiebreaker.  With the #1 seed they will face the better wild card team which is Anaheim in round 1.  Washington edges Arizona by one point for home ice in the 2 vs 3 battle.  In the Howe, NY Rangers win the division easily as well as the conference and they face wild card #2 which is Carolina who wins 4 of their last 5 to squeak by Jersey for the final playoff spot. Chicago does just enough in the final home games to hold on to the #2 slot and will host the NY Islanders in round 1.

In the Orr division, Dallas easily holds on to the #1 spot over San Jose and they will face Boston in round 1 after the Bruins wrap up the first wild card position.  San Jose finishes well ahead of Montreal to hold home ice in round 1 over the Canadiens.  The Lemieux holds your Commissioner’s Cup winner as Florida finishes with the best record in the league, just holding on over Pittsburgh, and they will face the LA Kings who somehow hold off Edmonton for the final playoff spot in the West.  Pittsburgh will host Vancouver who did put up 105 points, but still finish 17 points back out of second place despite that feat.

With the season complete, we have some regular season awards that can be sent out based on the final stats, congratulations to all!

Please, double check that are you importing each team’s coach before playing games as it still appears to be an issue and I really hate having to redo the files multiple times each block.

Block 10 is finished, and the final league file and Excel file are on the website.  I will post playoff files either Monday or Tuesday night depending on how quickly I can go through overuse and get them put together.
