TBL and MTL don't matter in terms of home advantage in the 1st round. Only way to get home ice in the 1st round is to finish 2nd in the Metro.

Carolina has 30.
The Rangers have 11 more ROW wins then Washington, but only four more points.
This system is garbage.
Totally agree. Its also mind boggling how teams with all these loser points have been allowed to stay in the thick of things.

His first order of business should be to make sure Sam Rosen gets inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Jiggs McDonald is in....
Mike Emrick is in...
Sam Rosen has been the voice of an original 6 franchise for 30 years. Has a famous calls the league uses in advertising campaigns. It's long overdue, and hopefully JD does the right thing.
Think about having 13+ millllliiiooooon dollars wrapped up in Dion Homophobic Sluroof and David Clarkson.
Think of how awful that would be, and "have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste" for the plight of Leafs fans.
But don't forget to have a good howl at Leaf Nation, which is the name for the great undeducated and unwashed of the mass of Leafs fans.

So looks like tonight there are two games important in the playoff race in the East. Looking for the Yotes to beat the Devils and the Habs to beat the Red Wings.

With an 11pt lead on the Devils that game is not important. The Red Wings game is also statistically insignificant to the Rangers playoff chances. Unless you're talking in the sense that it's important to the playoff race in general. For the Rangers at this point you have to root against Philly, Columbus, and Washington so that you secure home ice advantage in the first round.
I posted this in the post game thread but I'll repost it here:
Upcoming schedules:
NYR: @CGY, @EDM, @VAN, @COL, OTT
PHI: TOR, BOS, @STL, CLB, @BOS
CLB: PIT, @CAR, COL, @PHI, CHI
WSH: BOS, @NSH, DAL, @NJD, @NYI
2nd seed could and *should* be locked up by next weekend.
Dat schedule. Looking at our respective schedules we either need the Rangers to fall off a cliff or get really significant injuries to not finish ahead of the Flyers. The Jackets have 4 tough teams too, even though the Pens have sucked lately. I'm mostly worried about Washington. Either way the 2 spot is looking pretty damn good.

Ugh. Once again the media perpetuates the lie that high-end talent is available in later rounds.
...wait, what?

Didn't you get the memo, no impact players are available after pick 15.
Theres like .035987 % any pick after round one makes it to the NHL and makes a difference.

How does the playoff seeding work? Top two teams in each division get ranked 1-4 then the remaining 4 teams ranked 5-8?

2-3, PIT vs. 8th, 2-3 winner vs PIT v 8 winner, division champ v. division champ, conference champ v. conference champ.

Nope. You keep the divisional seeds separated. ATL: BOS, MTL, TB; MET: PIT, NYR, PHI. The 2nd and 3rd seed play each other either way. The conference winner plays the 8th seed (i.e. the 2nd wild card team). The winner of the other division plays the 7th seed (i.e. the better wild card team). The wild card team then remains in the respective divisional playoff
BOS-CBJ
MTL-TBL
--> MTL-CBJ
PIT-DET
NYR-PHI
--> PIT-PHI
Winners then play the Conference final. Summary: Divisions don't matter for wild card teams.
Say we finish 2nd in the Metro with 94 points and make it to the Conference Finals where we play Tampa, who finished 3rd in the Atlantic with 95 points. Who has home-ice advantage? I'd assume it would be Tampa, but that would be a pretty strange situation, as we would've had HIA in the first round, while Tampa would not.

Top Division Winner vs. Lowest Wild Card
2nd Division Winner vs. High Wild Card
2 vs 3 within each division.
then you play within your division until the conference final. technically, if an atlantic team plays pittsburgh in round 1 and wins, they will be playing the winner of 2 vs. 3 in the metro division.

yes, as far as I remember, once the divisional playoffs are over, all that matters for the seeding are points.
So in theory, you could be 1st in your division with less points than both wildcard teams. Then you'd have home ice in the first round against #7, but no home ice in the conference finals against #8.
