MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
And on to the
playoffs we go! Again,
congrats to the teams who made it and commiserations with those who
did not (and at least you guys have your #1 pick :O) For those who’s
season is over, please don’t disappear just yet, we will have some
voting on awards and then the ballot coming along in the next few
weeks. For those who have some work left to do, the playoff files are
ready and let’s try and get coaches out as soon as you can.
Playoff
matchups are set, here they are and some comments on how I think the
series may go. Playoff info is below including overuse of players and
who may have to miss what during each series (I ignored anyone who
missed just 1 game, anything beyond that has penalties listed). If you
can show me where a wrong coach was used then penalties can be
rescinded.
Prince of
Wales Conference
Anaheim vs
Washington
Arizona vs Philadelphia
Carolina vs NY Rangers
NY
Islanders vs Chicago
Three very
interesting matchups that are likely toss ups and then one that should
be a blow out. We’ll start
with the easy one as the Rangers end the season with over 30 more
points than the Canes and this first round matchup should be a walk,
but the Rangers have struggled to get out of the first round the last
couple of seasons and I expect that Carolina will give them a better
series than expected and push it to 6 of 7 games.
Islanders and Blackhawks is a rematch from last year when the
Islanders downed the Hawks, but this year with the Isles selling off
some assets at the deadline, Chicago should hold the advantage and
even the score. The Caps
just edged out the Flyers for the division and only 7 points were
between first and fourth place, so these should be a couple of tight
series. Both are likely
too close to call, but in the end I think it will be goaltending that
will win out and Philly and Washington will both defend home ice in
long series.
Clarence
Campbell Conference
Boston vs
Dallas
Montreal vs San Jose
Los Angeles vs Florida
Vancouver
vs Pittsburgh
Both Boston
and Los Angeles have really tough matchups in round 1 and I don’t see
much that will keep them from going to form as Florida and Dallas will
win in short series.
Montreal and San Jose is another rematch from round 1 last year and
the Sharks won without home ice and this time with them getting the
extra home game look for them to win again in 6 or 7 games.
Vancouver loaded up at the deadline and it might be enough to
make a run at Pittsburgh who just missed out on the division and
conference championship. While the Pens finished 17 points better in
the standings, Vancouver made a big run at the end, losing only 7 of
their last 26 games after the deadline and with Shesterkin in net,
this will be a series where a home loss by either team will be the
difference.
With the
season complete, we have some regular season awards that can be sent
out based on the final stats, congratulations to all!

check that are you importing each team’s coach before playing games as
