league divisions

there are 3 divisions of 4 teams

borje salming division
gilbert perreault division
bernie parent division

once the league fills up I will use a draft randomizer to randomly assign each of us to a division

the divisions are merely an extra title to shoot for during the regular season -most fp's = division winner

you do not play against your division rivals more often than the rest of the league during the regular season -you play everyone in entire league twice = 22 matchs

results of the randomizer to create division assignments


Pick 1: blackhawks
Pick 2: islanders
Pick 3: nordiques
Pick 4: sabres
Pick 5: avalanche
Pick 6: penguins
Pick 7: sharks
Pick 8: bruins
Pick 9: flyers
Pick 10: canucks
Pick 11: canadiens
Pick 12: leafs

therefore
Bernie Parent Division
Chicago Blackhawks
NY Islanders
Philadelphia Flyers-------
Buffalo Sabres

Gilbert Perreault Division
Colorado Avalanche
Pittsburgh Penguins
San Jose Sharks
Boston Bruins

Borje Salming Division
Quebec Nordiques--------------
Vancouver Canucks
Montreal Canadiens
Toronto Maple Leafs

Clearly we should swap out Philly and Quebec to make the Salming Divison all teams based in Canada

Agreed on that one

i will transfer out if allowed,u guys can go all-Canada and i can hang the Bernie Parent divison banner in Philly ..

I could go either way... whatever you guys want is fine by me.

an all-canadian division named after a Swedish d-man , hmmm

Yah, but he played like a good old Canadian boy......I think this one is a no brainer "All Canadian" is a must

its up to slats , ask him on monday
gone golfing (but left us a list)

No problem boys, I am happy to switch. Louis Slegher vs Jean Hamel all over again.

allrighty , we have an all Canadian division then

Whoo hooo... an all Canadian division.

Hey Butch:

I have a question for you about making the playoffs. If I understand it correctly, the current plan is for the top 3 teams in each division to make the playoffs. Would you consider a suggestion here.

There well could be a very strong division whereby the 4th team in a division could have a higher overall standing than some teams that do make the playoffs. Would you perhaps consider the top 2 teams in each division and then the next 4 highest placed teams vice your current plan?

divisions have nothing to do with who makes the playoffs Steve

top 9 teams make the playoffs no matter which division they are in

the divisions are merely a regular season competition within the competition ; put up more fp's than your division foes , you get a division title and some bragging rights .

Excellent. Thanks for the clarification Butch... now all there is left to do is be competitive enough to give myself a chance.
