May as well pump my own tires and put me 1st, although I think it's a given St.Louis takes it.

I'm also confused as to how the "conferences" thing works. As in, is it even possible this year for St.Louis and Vancouver to finish 1-2? I thought I would be in the "western conference" now.
Or is it all the teams on the left side above are one "conference" (Boston/Edmonton lines) and the teams on the right are the "eastern conference" (Carolina/Anaheim lines) ... Which doesn't makes sense given Anaheim is definitely not east haha.
Oooor... Is it Boston/Carolina in one and then Edmonton/Anaheim in another? ... Which makes more sense, but still unclear how it's all divided come playoffs.

DNHL has 4 divisions. Your team got moved into the Canada Division. Not sure where your comment about conferences is coming from.

The top team in each division makes the playoffs as the 1-4 seeds. Seeds 5 & 6 are the wildcards and get a buy from the first round. 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9. The final order of the standings depends on who wins/loses in the playoffs. If me (St. Louis) and you (Vancouver) meet in the finals then we would finish 1st and 2nd in the final standings.

Ah, alright. I never really figured out how the ol playoff format works because I've never made it past the 1st round it seems, haha.
