lethunder Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Top seed in each division (Central/Pacific) plays one of the wildcard teams (1v8, 2v7) That leaves the 2nd and 3rd team from each division to play each other in the first round (2v3, 2v3) So real world scenario right now would see: Nashville (Central 1) vs San Jose (Wildcard 2) Anaheim (Pacific 1) vs Winnipeg (Wildcard 1) St Louis (Central 2) vs Chicago (Central 3) Vancouver (Pacific 2) vs Calgary (Pacific 3) Edited February 22, 2015 by lethunder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 If the playoffs started today, Canucks would play Calgary according to CBC; how? explain please? 6th and 7th seat in first round? Because Kassian is so amazing he makes the Canucks the 2nd seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Because Kassian is so amazing he makes the Canucks the 2nd seed. That is amazing. Very few NHLers can manage that feat from the pressbox... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stankura Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 With the influx of 'contract during lockout' question threads that just get locked, figured this would be a good time to bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleech Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Question...Are the players that are on the ice at the time a penalty shot is called each get assigned a minus on their stats if a goal is scored on the penalty shot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm fairly certain they don't. I'd agree. I would expect a goal scored on a penalty shot to be treated like a power play goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmm Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 how is LA in a playoff spot having lost more games than Winnipeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) how is LA in a playoff spot having lost more games than Winnipeg? They have more Regulation & Overtime Wins. That's the first tiebreaker if they have played the same amount of games. From NHL.com... If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage). The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season. NOTE: In standings a victory in a shootout counts as one goal for, while a shootout loss counts as one goal against.

lmm Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I see , so ROW trumps wins. I vaguely remember that happening but thought it was wins first then ROW. Cheers t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Am I correct in asking if Virtanen can NOT play in Utica for their playoff run? But, he could practice and be one of the "black aces" with the Canucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Sock Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 How do the second round matchups work? If anyone can throw out an example with an upset or two in the first round that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William_Clarkson Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 How do the second round matchups work? If anyone can throw out an example with an upset or two in the first round that would be great. Divisional final sort of thing. Say the playoff matches in R1 are: Ana vs. Wpg Van vs. Cgy Stl vs. Min Nsh vs. Chi The winner of Anaheim/Winnipeg plays Vancouver/Calgary and St. Louis/Minny plays Nashville/Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitecarnage Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 i just noticed something. if we still had the old playoff format, the eastern matchups would be exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyfan90 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Question regarding the plus minus on the penalty shot. In the NHL video games, if the penalty shot is taken on the PP, then it doesn't count. If its taken SHG or even strength, it counts for the player. I guess its the same in real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Question regarding the plus minus on the penalty shot. In the NHL video games, if the penalty shot is taken on the PP, then it doesn't count. If its taken SHG or even strength, it counts for the player. I guess its the same in real life Seems like it. There was a successful EV-penalty shot in the Wild vs Chicago game on Dec 16, 2014. The player who scored on the EV-penalty did get a +/- but not the players who were on the ice when the penalty got awarded.

Qwags Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Could the league ever rescind a win from a team as punishment, or even just in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goalie13 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Could the league ever rescind a win from a team as punishment, or even just in general? I don't think so. I believe that once the game is over, it is considered official and cannot be changed. However, if a team refuses to play for some reason (such as a form of protest or bankruptcy), the game can be forfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
