goalie13 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It's more of a true bracket now, no re-seeding. The winner of the Canucks vs Calgary will play against the winner of Anaheim vs a wild card team. If Anaheim beats Arizona tonight, they will be the top seed in the West and will get the lower wildcard team, which is Winnipeg. If Anaheim loses, they play Minny and St.Louis would get Winnipeg. The winner of that series plays whomever does the same in the Central Division. The winner of that series gets to play for the Stanley Cup. It will make way more sense once tonight's games are done and they post the brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M A K A V E L I 96 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The lower seeded wildcard goes in the same division as the #1 seed and the other wildcard goes in the #2's division. All the series are divisional ones until the conference finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Round 1 - Division Semi Final Round 2 - Division Final Round 3 - Conference Final Round 4 - Stanley Cup Final Sort of. You could get a Pacific team playing a Central team in the first round IE, Anaheim playing the Jets. So it's not technically Division rounds like the old days.

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I don't like this format. It makes the regular season even less rewarding. St. Louis is going to get first in the west, but they'll have to face Nashville or Chicago in the second round (if they get through). So it's the first seed being forced to play either the 3rd or 4th seed. That's ridiculous. I think they should re-seed the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Amazing that seven PO teams will be different than last year. Almost 50% turnover. Silly PO system, mind you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
