2015 NHL Franchise Tournament - FINALS, GAME 5 RESULTS!

[E.H. Ruddock]

wtf. First time this season the Isles didn't win at least one of the two.

[Kaius]

I really fucked you up today, Ruddolph.

[Mecca]

These are easily the 2 worst losses the Sabres have ever suffered to the Dallas Stars

[Mecca]

Now that I know the games need to be saved to stay up after 24 hours, I can pick up some slack in the evening

Feel free! I should be able to continue running games Monday-Friday, but if you want to run a second set of games each night (or whatever nights you can) then we can speed this up a bit. It's automatically a bit slower because I'm not able to run them on weekends, so this would mean finishing up to ten days each week, which would be awesome.

Did we ever come to a consensus on a playoff format? I kind of like the idea of the top six making it:

- First Round, top two get a bye, 3 vs. 6, 4 vs. 5
- Second Round, 1 vs. lowest remaining seed, 2 vs. other winner
- Third Round, finals

The alternative is just doing a standard format where the top four make it.

I like 4. What kind of a league has over 50% of the teams making the playoffs?

Yeah, a little disappointed in numbers here.

[numbers]

Like years ago. I thought we were taking modern times.

[Mecca]

Like years ago. I thought we were taking modern times.

16 teams in a 30 team league make the playoffs

[numbers]

Shit, I never realized that.

[Mecca]

Shit, I never realized that.

we're all just here to learn from each other, mick

[philpritchard]

Hey Skitch and chud, I have Twitter now.

[@SkitchP]

Hey Skitch and chud, I have Twitter now.

this will be huge come draft time

[Mecca]

i was mistaken about the playoffs thing because i forgot about ruddo and kaius joining. Back then we only had 10 so 4 would make sense, but with 12, I think 6 is perfect.
