Playoffs Question

[pagetheaj]

Has the playoffs changed now that there's only 17 teams in the Q? Or is it still 16 in the playoffs?

It's still 16 teams.

I'm 99%+ certain that it's the same as last year;

1-16
2-15
GAT-14 ()
4-13
5-12
6-11
7-10
8-9

I think the Moose are in good position to get the coveted 6th seed... 6 will likely draw 3 in round two. Halifax vs. Gatineau/BLB/Valdor I don't like the division rule... All three lf those teams will get smashed by Hali Victo or Shawi.

I want a HFX vs Saint John playoff soooooooooooooo bad.

Benoît Groulx says hi.

Don't take Val-d'Or lightly in a seven game series either. I'm not sure I want a piece of them in the playoffs... I mean, they're pretty terrible in individual games, but there's just no quit in that Foreurs team.

They could play tough, but I doubt Victo, Shawi or SJ have any fear i them. Halifax would probably drop one or two in a 7gameset.

I'm not sure I would be worried about Val-d'Or beating me in a playoff series, but I'd be worried about them taking so much out of my team that we were out of gas by the time we met a better team.

Any series against Val-d'Or is going to go 6 or 7, and it's going to turn ugly. Whatever they lack in skill, they make up for in toughness and heart - they will fight to the bitter end and take you down with them.
