Pittsburgh becomes the first #8 seed to pull off the big upset in the history of this league!  Thank you very much. :toast:

Congrats Colby. My #7 seed Buffalo came close to pulling off an upset as well. Not quite enough however.

Chris is probably not too happy about that one, since BOS obviously had the strongest season by winning the president's trophy.

Drew/Chris, what was the tiebreaker between me and Minnesota? I think I lost both head to head and division record against him, I just want to know which one it was.

I went by overall record, then division record, then points scored.  Hope I made sense doing it that way.

Well I'm not happy but I'm not angry either.  30 teams compete for 1 championship...most are going to lose.  The Presidents trophy is nice though!
