So for anyone confused by their matchups, here is how the new rules go for the first round.
* 3 teams from each division get births, * 2 teams in the conference not in the division's top 3 with the most points are wild cards * Division Leaders play wild card teams in the first round * Division leader with the most points plays wild card team with the least points * #2 and #3s of each division play each other (Division A #2 plays Division A #3 and Division B #2 plays Division B #3.
No offense, but the new rules of placement kind of suck.

Jesus that was insanely classy thing for the Canucks to do. I thought I'll never type that sentence ever. And now I'm really sad that Smyth is retired. He was my Gretzky growing up and still is. Damn this is emotional. Apparently the most rugged of men have tears in their eyes over town

I was happy to see Vancouver do that tonight, because even as a Canucks fan myself, I can't help but respect Ryan Smyth.

It was shocking to see since Kesler, Edler, and Kassian were massive douches that night. I wonder who lead that moment. My money was on Henrik Sedin since he seemed to be touched by Ryan Smyth tributes and chants and was the first guy to congratulate him and say a few words.
East Detroit Red Wings at Boston Montréal Canadien at Tampa Bay Lightning Columbus Blue Jackets at Pittsburgh Penguins Philadelphia Flyers at New York Rangers
West Dallas Stars at Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings at San Jose Sharks Minnesota Wild at Colorado Avalanche Chicago Blackhawks at St. Louis Blues
Fixed, the Lightning have home ice advantage after winning today.

Whatever happened to 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5?
Avs drop the regular season finale to the Ducks 3-2. Sucks to lose a few heading in with Giguere in net, but it's better to keep Varly well rested for the playoffs.
In Anaheim's game, Giguere and Selänne wave goodbyes at their last regular season game. Elsewhere, Daniel Sedin leaves game on stretcher. Really mixed feelings.
Boston (Atlantic 1) vs Detroit (WC2): Bruins in a hard fought 6 games Tampa (Atlantic 2) vs Montreal (Atlantic 3): Montreal in 7 Pittsburgh (Met 1) vs Columbus (1st WC): Penguins in 5 Rangers (Met 2) vs Philadelphia (Met 3): Philly in 7
WEST:
Avalanche (Central 1) vs Minnesota (WC1): Avalanche in 4 St Loius (Central 2) vs Chicago (Central 3): Chicago in 7 Anaheim (Pacific 1) vs Dallas (WC2: Ducks in 5 San Jose (Pacific 2) vs LA Kings(Pacific 3): Kings in 6

1) Break the playoff system few people had any problem with 2) 3) Profit

I've had Boston and Chicago in the finals since last June's series ended. I think it's destiny.
I've had Boston and Chicago in the finals since last June's series ended. I think it's destiny.
If the Bruins and Canadiens advance and square off in the conference semifinals, that's going to be the test that decides the Bruins' fate. I went back and forth on that series in my prediction post, debating whether to have Boston or Montreal advance, ultimately settling on the Bruins. But I won't be shocked if the Habs win that series. They've had the Bruins' number this season, and their style of play has given Boston fits in recent years. I guess it's a lot like what the Yankees used to be, you just have this inherent fear that no matter how good your team appears to be, they're a long-standing rival and they've got generations worth of history on their side, even if recent history favors your squad.
