I agree...based off of that I see the Rangers, Penguins, and Flyers all advancing.

NBA has a great seedings system- Division winner gets a seed no worse than 4th place. However, if the 5th seed has more wins (points in NHL case) than the 4th seed, the 5th seed gets the home advantage. Also seeds 1 through 4 are ranked by record.
So you'd see
1. NY
2. Pitt
3. Boston
4. Florida
5. Philly (home ice over Florida)
6. NJ
This system usually works really well. It's rare that three teams in 1 division have more points than 2 division leaders, but the way the NBA does it is the best alternative IMO.

Ya I like the new regular season divisions format for the season sched, but I really don't like how it'll be similar playoff teams playing again and again it sucks

I wonder if this thread will turn into a pissing contest about which conference is better... just like the one I posted about the same topic... We'll see who shows up to start that contest.
...should happen anytime now.
