*-clinched a playoff spot
^-clinched division
e-eliminated from playoff contention

The first tiebreaker for ties is total wins, that can be seen above. The second is head to head record. The Flyers hold the second tiebreaker over the Blindsides, leading the season series 6-1-0 (1 game remaining).

Zach6668 · Guru

Clinching Scenarios:

Rockets will clinch first overall if they ear at least one tie in their double header OR the Hurricanes lose or tie their game
asdfjkl; will clinch the #2 seed with a win OR a Crop Dusters loss OR a tie AND a Crop Dusters tie
KC Reserves will clinch the #6 seed with a win AND a Broadway loss or tie, OR a tie AND a Broadway loss
Injured Reserve will lock themselves into the #8 seed with a loss OR a Broadway win or a tie AND a Broadway tie or win

If the playoffs started today:

(1) Toronto Rocket vs (8) Injured Reserve
(2) asdfjkl; vs (7) Broadway
(3) Iowa Crop Dusters vs (6) KC Reserves
(4) Newmarket Hurricanes vs (5) Whalers*

Whalers are the only team locked into a playoff seed.

Well, I'm actually playing against the Hurricanes, so this is a lot easier.

If I get a point in either game, I clinch 1st overall. If I go 0/2, we go to game #80 where Jay and I BOTH play against the Lost Cause (so in effect, we'd basically be playing against one another, which is kind of a cool, unforeseen byproduct of the DH system).

Is anybody else excited for tonight???

rinswun · Guru

I'm excited for this evening. Mentioned before that I am a season ticket holder at Brighton & Hove Albion, who play in The Championship which is the second tier of English football. Currently, Brighton are top of the league with 13 games remaining, and if they finish in the top 2 they'll be promoted to the Premier League where they'll have regular match ups against Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham etc. Well tonight they are playing against Newcastle, relegated from the Prem last season, who are currently second in the league. A win would give them a huge, huge chance of promotion with 12 games remaining. Next season would be great if they make it.

Zach6668 · Guru

If Brighton was promoted, would the price of season tickets skyrocket? lol.

Oops. Looks like no Oshie, no Letang for me. Get healthy before the playoffs, gents.

Thankfully not. It's a 32,000 seater stadium (was opened in 2011) and there are 24,000 season ticket holders. The club has been very good with their pricing structure and the ticket increases at 2% for next season regardless of what league they are playing in which I think is more than fair.

Zach6668 · Guru

Well they should definitely reward the loyal fans who stuck through the 2nd tier league, etc. Awesome.

Me too. You gotta admit biatch/john round 1 fchl is more exciting then the dud that is John/Zach round 1 ahl

Zach6668 · Guru

Locking in 7 is weird. John needs to win AND needs Jeff to win. If John loses to avoid leapfrogging Jeff, Duane will be just 1 point back. Lol. Interesting times.

GOCUBSGO · Guru

I couldn't care less who I get. Jay and Zach are the only teams I would prefer to avoid throughout the playoffs.

Zach6668 · Guru

Ooh, asdfjkl; vs ICD is another good matchup tonight. I think I'd rather get that #2 seed if I'm you.

The Reserves, Injured and Kansas City, both have much better analytics than the Broadways. :P

I think I went on the record a while back saying I was hoping to play you in the first round. Lol.

That sounds really cool Ollie. When was the last time Brighton was in the Premiership?

Based on a quick google search, looked like '83 to me, so this must be truly incredible for you.

If it makes you feel any better, I consider you and Jay my biggest threats.

Updated analytics would be nice

The previous one you did is without D Sedin for me. The reason I picked him up is that Vancouver plays 6/7 1st rd game nights and Sedin filled a lot of holes for me. Just curious what his effect is

If its for the 2009 playoffs, pretty good. If its for this year, not what you were hoping probably.

I'll try to update tonight, but may wait until after the regular season. Though I could easily just do both. Lol.

Zach6668 · Guru

Yo Ollie are you going for the accidentally dress a non-playing defenseman thing again? Or have you just not set your lineup? Lol.

rich · Overselling players since 1993

That's awesome Ollie I'll be cheering for them.

I actually have season tickets for our local MLS team, the Whitecaps. Always a fun experience.

Zach6668 · Guru

Jared Spurgeon comes in for Kris Letang. Kid is rocking a sweet 0.339. Actually easily worth his $4 contract.

He's my favorite trade throw-in ever. I even got buyout money with him, then he ended up on my team, and was productive for like 3 years. Lol. Will be sad to see him go this summer.

No offense, you have a good team, but I dont consider myself an underdog against your squad. I would against Jay and Zach.

GOCUBSGO · Guru

Most afraid of Jay if I had to pick.

Ya, it was more about the fact that you mentioned the two teams I will probably have to play in the first 2 rounds, than about you vs me. :)

MLP · Guru

and ya, we agree, im guessing Jay+Z are the two teams most teams want to avoid. For me, I have a bad history with J, so it makes me want to take on that challenge, as much as I fear the guy who has been preparing for this series since about May of last year.

rinswun · Guru

I did set my lineup earlier, not sure how I managed to get a non player in there.

Sadly Brighton lost today, still 6 points clear of 3rd though so hope is not lost yet! They were 1-0 with 10 mins to go though which is painful.

Is there anyone in the league that doesn't have a bad history with J?

You all can suck it btw. Some of us are playing meaningless games right now.

Zach6668 · Guru

****. Of course Skinner isn't playing and I don't hear about it til 1 min after his game started. Eff me.

Sounds like its time for the FCHL Reject Cup.

One of Dubey or I are the defending champ, btw. lol

Jay · Turning Back the Clock

Interesting question. It made me think who I've done the worst against in the playoffs. I would guess Dan.
Going off of memory - my playoff records

asdfjkl; - played 3 times, lost twice (both finals)
BDH - played twice (maybe once?), haven't lost
ROFB - haven't played
Broadway - haven't played
Lethbridge - played twice against Nell franchise, won both

IR - played once, won
Blindsides - played once? Won
KCR - don't think I've played
Iowa - beat Josh once, lost one to Danny G (wow)
Tulane - played once, lost

Whalers - played once (think I won)
Ales - played twice (?) haven't lost
Lost Cause - played once, won
Rocket - played once, won

These may not be 100%

Kind of wish we had a reject cup. I don't think my team will be better than it is now. im legit super bummed out for not getting into the playoffs.

Zach6668 · Guru

Likely Johansson (2 goals), but maybe Okposo (1+1), would have been the replacement for Skinner had I seen his scratching in time.

rich · Overselling players since 1993

We played 3 times Jay, you're 3 and 0.

I honestly think we should have one. I do see anything wrong with everyone putting in an extra $2 every year, and the guy who wins the reject cup gets a free entry the following year.

the money is meant just so everyone puts in a lineup, its honestly fairly fun, esp if you let the teams use their farm players.

MLP · Guru

also, we should have started the playoffs last week. Filip Forsberg is never gonna keep this sh*t up, not to even mention what Schiefele has done this last little while to ensure I "show him the money", FCHL style

Ottawa_Biatch · Guru

Yeah we should do a reject cup, but call it the fearsome beaver cup or Halifax moneyshot memorial tournament instead.

You are correct. Year 3 finals, our slobber knocker last year, and another one I believe in year 4 semi finals.
