MESSAGE FROM
THE COMMISSIONER
We finally see
our first upsets in round 2 as Chicago downs the mighty Rangers
offense in seven games on the road and Philadelphia sweeps through he
Capitals with 4 close wins. Four very even and worthy teams going
forward into the conference finals and you can expect a couple of very
competitive matchups that should go 6 or 7 games each.
If anyone has
any more prop ballot ideas, it’s time to get going and finish that
discussion up though things have been quiet (look for something from
me again on the lottery as the NHL lottery just doesn’t suit our needs
anymore). Get those ideas
out there asap.
Awards ballot
is still going for anyone who wants to put in a vote, there is the
link for those who still need it - https://shout.com/s/liS06wkR
Round 3
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rescinded.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
Philadelphia
vs Chicago
After no upsets in round 1, round 2 that is all we
see as both the top seeds in each division falls, with the Caps going
out in 4 and the Rangers falling on home ice in 7.
Now we get a pair of #2 seeds going at it for the conference
final and Philadelphia won the season series, 3 to 1. By the numbers,
these two teams are very evenly matched on both offense and defense
and this will come down to whether Andersen for the Flyers and Kuemper
for the Hawks can get hot and steal a game on the road to make things
easier for their team.
This one will go the distance and in the end home ice will win out for
Chicago.
Clarence
Campbell Conference
Dallas vs
Florida
Things went to
form in the Campbell as Florida outlasted the Penguins and Dallas had
an easier time taking down the Sharks.
The two teams split the season series and like the matchup in
the other conference these two teams are almost dead even both on
offense and defense.
Again, this one will come down to goaltending and who gets hot, with
Dallas and Ullmark holding a bit of an edge, but the Panthers defense
may even that out. This time, I think we will see our first upset in
the Campbell as the Stars will win this one in 6 games on home ice
after stealing a game in Florida.
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.
