Does the bracket reseed after the first round? Because otherwise we won't see Colorado until the Conference finals, right?

 

Yes. Highest remaining seed plays lowest remaining seed.

Well now I hate hockey again then

 

jk...thanks guys...the brackets I'd seen didn't mention that little tidbit.

 

Do they do that after each round, or just after the first?

After the second round it doesn't matter anymore, as there are just 2 teams left in each conference.

Although the higher seeded team will retain home ice advantage, including in the finals.

Right...that part's just like NBA though...

Well technically, in the finals, the seeds don't matter, it is regular season points that determine it.

^Which is why it would be nice if SJ and Washington could get knocked out so the Hawks would have home ice all the way through.

 

First things first though...oh, nevermind...I'll keep my neurosis in the Hawks thread.

Wings/Coyotes have been a very entertaining series so far...Pitts/Ottawa has been rather boring minus the Sutton hit...wonder which series is on my tv right now

[TruffleShuffle]

if you're going to give teams a 5-on-3 in the playoffs, you should probably make sure that the second penalty called is not complete horse [expletive].

[kujay]

Wings are 5:00 from being in a lot of trouble.

Wow, I have no idea what game I was watching. I was watching for literally about five minutes thinking Detroit was losing. Even seeing your post didn't wake me up.

I wish I had that excuse. I guess it was just, sorry, wishful thinking.

[TruffleShuffle]

do the referees in the flyers-devils game realize that it's the playoffs and the games are being televised? what an embarrassment.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol, two of the flyers' top 6 forwards (carter and gagne) suffered a broken foot after getting hit with a slapshot last night. this on top of playing our backup goalie because our starter is out for the year. so glad i'm a flyers fan.

[hawkeyecub]

That Bruins/Sabres OT and 2OT was intense as hell. Big hits, not many whistles and outstanding goaltending. Miller was standing on his head at times. The Sabres lose after getting called for too many men on the ice.

[Garwilly]

Game 4 in LA has been a lot of fun to watch

[Drew Doughty]

ugggh defense. really bad. can't do that with a dangerous team like the canucks, way too loose.

[TruffleShuffle]

well the flyers have already exceeded my expectations.... especially boucher.

 

not going to be fun playing the caps without carter and gagne.

[kujay]

^Good luck with that. I like this Flyers team and will be rooting for them as the underdog.

[NewUserName]

nothing I dislike more than giving up a PP goal on a penalty that was called because a player dove.

[Andy]

Jimmy Howard is having to face a lotta shots.
