Leafs will beat the Bruins in round 2 on their way to the finals against the Jets. A Canadian team will win for the first time since 1993 and all of Canada will be happy.

Not according to this.

Tie-Breaking Procedure

If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order: The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column. The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing. The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season. NOTE: In standings a victory in a shootout counts as one goal for, while a shootout loss counts as one goal against.

Speak for yourself my Leaf loving friend. Nothing but a Bruins Cup win will make me happy.

They just came up with the tiebreaker game for Philly and Florida. It would be hilarious if they hamstrung themselves into playing a tiebreaker game to determine home ice for the Cup Finals.

But yeah, those are the only criteria listed, they'll probably announce something the week before or something where they announce a new tiebreaker.

Things like this by a major sports league should be embarrass the NHL, but they seem content to fly by the seat of their pants with decisions and rules .

I think either way the Jets get home ice. They have more wins than them. But I also want Boston to win today because I want them to face Taylor Hall and the New Jersey Devils.

That would be kinda arbitrary though since they can just decide who gets home ice.
Fairest scenario would be (of course it's not gonna happen) if they played game 7 on neutral ice.

Your right, they can't come up with a new tie breaking rule just before the final. That would be extremely bush league.

Coin flip?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Coin flip I bet

Agreed. Almost the only fair measure at that point.

Nashville vs. Bruins....Preds win their 1st cup !!

That series would be so awesome.

PK vs Bruins alone makes it.

If the Jets play the Bruins in the finals, I hope that it goes to Game 7 O/T and Kyle Connor scores. lol

I love how you just casually take it for granted that they’ll beat the Lightning in the first round. Need I remind you what happened the last time you guys got cocky with us?

Lets be fair here.

That series would be Toronto vs. Canada. I think the vast majority of fans outside of Ontario would be rooting for Jets.

NHL owners would love losing game 7 revenue..

Because he's irish right.

 

[tony d]

Would be a fun series if it where to happen. Have to see what happens.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Is that far-fetched or something?

 

[Georgetown Al]

It's something...

That's for sure...

On a giveaway by Debrusk? Goodbye, HFboards!

Because he's irish right.

It’s a needle to the Bruins fans about the draft choices in first round 2015
Bruins acquired 3 picks in a row during first round in 2015
Barzal and Connor were the next ones chosen immediately after Bruins finished their curious selection of Debrusk and 2 busts
