Good recap Daddy, but a few edits man.   

#2 and #3 in each Division play each other.
The two #1's in each Conference play the Wildcards.

So
Pacific #2 VS #3
Central #2 VS #3

Metro #2 VS #3
Atlantic #2 VS #3

The NHL does it that way? What a bunch of idiots
As if divisional teams don't see each other enough. That let's some weaker teams off the hook. That's too bad.

yeah,  but only 1 team wins in the end.  Nobody is getting  off easy,  here.

I disagree, Its all about weekly matchups in fantasy playoffs, catch the wrong team on the wrong week & even the mighty will fall.

1 team will survive but the cupcakes never had a chance.

My point was 1 team wins money, so there is no advantage. Its not like you get money b/c you win the first matchup. This isn't a Corey league, where everyone gets a payout for showing up.

And so it is noted 

My point was....
The NHL Playoff format is dumb as dog Crap. They will change it soon enough (I hope). It rewards a bad division for being bad ensuring that 1 team advances when maybe they didn't deserve too.

2 should play 3 in the oppo division if anything. The 2-3 divisional matchup is the stupidest format in sports history. I'm glad other sports don't use it.

I love hockey, & FNHL is a great league. Winner take all is ok by me, the playoff format is doo doo.
 

[Burkes Boys]

I tend to agree with Daddy on the NHL playoff format being crap!
The older format of Conference seeds 1 through 8 made more sense.

Maybe it turns into a vote for next year to go back to the 1 vs 8 seeding format by Conference.
