I think it's going to be the top four from each division into the playoffs? Not totally fair, but I though that's the plan?
I mostly meant which two divisions are gonna be paired together (like how it's usually Central and Pacific/Metro and Atlantic) or is it gonna somehow be a straight 1-16 seeding?
The regular season will wrap up on May 8 and then the league will return to a 16-team, best-of-seven, four-round playoff format. Four teams from each division will qualify for the playoffs.
The first two rounds will be intradvisional play. Then, the four division winners will advance to the semifinals, reseeded based on their regular-season point totals (No. 1 would play No. 4, No. 2 would play No. 3). The two semifinal teams will play in the Stanley Cup Final -- and if you've been following along, that means it's not necessarily going to be an Eastern Conference team versus a Western Conference team competing for the Cup. Bring on the chaos!
Interesting. So we could see some oddball shit with former division rivals playing for the cup.
C'mon we all know Leafs are out first round.
The way I understood this is that the 4 divisions will have basically a 4 team bracket and the winner of each of those brackets will play in the semis.From ESPN:
So there aren't two divisions that will be paired against each other for the playoffs. Its going to come down to regular season points after the first round, which will be within their own division. I'm not sure that's awesome.
Seems once 1 or 2 players test positive they just cancelled all the games. Pretty nuts how many teams arent playing right now.
Hurricanes and stars are a game and 1.5 games back of Chicago with 4 games in hand. So scheduling.Blackhawks crack super 16 not sure if good or central division
