Consistent with last year, I updated the threads in this board and archived the 2014/2015 play-offs in the sub-board.

I've created a new Fantrax playoff league! All play-off bound teams should log on and adjust their line-ups. If there's anything that's not working right, let me know ASAP and I'll fix it immediately.

Good luck!

Fun fact:

I rolled forward last year's Round 1 match-ups into this year. In the Eastern Conference, other than Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs switching spots, the match-ups are exactly the same! Check it out:

This year it was a lot tighter keeping that lead though.

just glad I don't have to face tampa round 1 again

Well fought first round Buffalo. I was scared about FOW and a couple other stats for awhile. Chicago getting put out makes Tampa a bit more beatable for the next round

Oddly, the first game of Round 2 between the Islanders and the Lightning is occurring before the end of Game 7 of the Round 1 series between the Ducks and Predators. This creates a bit of an issue with our play-off scoring.

The simplest solution should be to count the first game of the Round 2 series between the Islanders and the Lightning in the DTDL Round 1 and go from there. Unless someone else has a simpler suggestion, I think this is the route we're going to go.

I found where you can uncheck the Islanders - Lightning game for this round. we should be able to select it to count for next round.

Congratulations to everyone but a special congrats to LA Kings and Jets. By far the tightest match of the first round and the series came down to the final game.
