Archer is a great show to watch when you're drunk on cobra whiskey.

I can't afford them. If they don't rob you up front, they'll rob you after you pass out.

How exactly would the Blues & Sharks play in the 1st round?
It's also almost impossible for them to play the Preds...
Not sure what you're talking about

The Blues will play either the Hawks or Wild in the 1st round

But to answer your question...
The scapegoat will be Backes, who they will not re-sign

division winners get top 2 seeds?

so if stars win division does blues get 2 seed for second best, or 3 seed behind 2 division winners? , 6th seed is sharks, 7th seed is preds?

Top 3 teams in the division get automatic bids, the 2 wild card teams can be from either division or from the same division.

Teams 2 and 3 from the same division play each other. 1 plays wildcard. If both wild cards are in the other division then depending on the points that 1 gets(let's say they're first in the conference) they get the 2nd wildcard. So the only two teams left are 1 and the 1st wildcard. Here's a visual aid. Ottawa and Pittsburgh were the Wildcards.

I know this was from last year..but here's my 2 cents

Blackhawks and Lightning just arn't the same teams they were last year...

Ducks are just too good...and no way the Caps lose before the Eastern conference finals..

Ducks/Caps Stanley cup final

Caps in 7 (if Holtby stays healthy)

So i was upset to see that Fasching and Nelson were not on the most recent NHL 16 update so i created them (realistically) and had Hudson Fasching (Fasth in the game ) put him on a line with Jack and Sam and he had 2 goals in the opener vs Ottawa.

Is Vancouver tanking with dignity since they're a Canadian team ?

No the fans have embraced the "American" style of tanking.

- homiedclown



Nope
There's 2 separate brackets in each conference
There's no 1-8 seeds any more

So it's either...

1 Dallas or St Louis
WC Minnesota or Nashville
*most likely Minnesota. This division winner will have more points than LA/Anaheim, so they'll play the worse of the 2 wild cards

2 StLouis or Dallas
3 Chicago


1 Anaheim or LA
WC Nashville or Minnesota

2 LA or Anaheim
3 San Jose


Those are the ONLY possible matchups
There's no chance StL could play San Jose in the 1st round
The only way they could play Nashville is if StL wins the division AND Minnesota catches Nashville & has more points... This is very unlikely

They did it a couple years ago to promote division rivalries more
It coincided with the reg season schedule change where each team plays everyone home & away at least once. This took away the number of times u played your division teams.
