Playoffs – Round of Three

Now that the regular season has been wrapped up, the round of three matchups have been set.  As a reminder, seeding is determined by points, then wins, head to head, and then point differential.

Black finished with the longest winning streak, going 8-0-1 in their second matchup with each team, for a season total of 28 points and the number one seed, and will face Neon, Red, and Silver in this round.

Green finished with the number two seed as the only team with two skaters averaging better than a goal a game, with 27 points on the season, and will face Orange, Gold, and Purple.

Teal rode the league’s highest point differential of 29 goals to 25 points and the three seed, and will face Purple, Yellow, and Gold.

Yellow allowed a league low 45 goals, 2.50 GAA and 9 goals better than the next best, on their way to a 24 point, four seed finish, and will face Silver, Teal, and Red.

Orange finished on a 3-0-2 tear, chasing the top 4, ultimately finishing just outside the group with 19 points and the five seed, and will face Green, Silver, and Neon.

Neon withstood late pushes by Red and Gold to finish holding the 6 seed, with 14 points, and will face Black, Purple, and Orange.

Red and Gold each finished with 12 points, and 5 wins, needing the head to head matchups, which favored Red 2-0-0, to break the tie.  Red takes the 7 seed, and with it faces Gold, Black, and Yellow.  Gold finishes with the 8 seed, and will face Red, Green, and Teal.

Purple needed their late season tie with Silver to hold on to the 9 seed with 10 points, and will face Teal, Neon, and Green.

Silver finished with the 10 seed, fighting until the end and finishing one point behind Purple with 9 points, and will face Yellow, Orange, and Black.

All teams are guaranteed these three games, after which the top four point earners in these three games will advance (2 points for a win, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss), with the higher seed winning the tiebreakers to advance to the semi-finals.  Good luck to everyone!
