Eastern Conference standings are updated, and we have two teams eliminated from the playoff hunt at this point. I will do the Western Conference later.
Looks like the regular season is just about finished! We only need to wait on some games by Iowa and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to finish in order to have the final points totals for the playoff teams for determining home ice advantage in the later rounds.
The North and West Divisions already have their seeding for the First Round of the playoffs, just a couple of straggling games to complete before we start. I am going to wait until this weekend, at which point all the games should be finished (hopefully). If that is the case, the playoffs will start this weekend.
It has been fun so far, now let's see who comes out on top!
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton vs. Providence - Game 239787 - Scranton wins in OT Wilkes-Barre/Scranton vs. Springfield - Game 2390799 - Springfield Wins Wilkes-Barre/Scranton vs. Hamilton - Game 2390794 - Scranton Wins Wilkes-Barre/Scranton vs. Norfolk - Game 2390807 - Norfolk Wins In a stunning upset Wilkes-Barre/Scranton loses all 3 games to Albany: 2390776, 2390786, & 2390796 - All in OT

Quick standings update this morning, and it looks like almost all the games are now done. We just have to wait for the last couple of stragglers because they involve playoff teams and home ice advantage could be determined by the results. Looks like the playoffs should start hopefully this weekend as planned.
1. We still need 1 game in the Eastern Conference to finish before I can determine the proper seeding for the Atlantic Division. Home ice advantage is on the line depending upon how that game turns out.
2. Houston (ncardoso) will be out of town starting tomorrow morning until June 6th. This means that the Western Conference playoffs are going to get held up a little bit.
3. Here is my solution: We are going to wait for this last game to finish, and then we will start all the playoffs series that we can with 1 game at a time, taking it nice and slow for about 7-10 days. Then, once ncardoso returns he and BaldAdonis will get 4 games at once to catch up nice and quick, and we should be okay to go after that.
I think the last game of the regular season, 19 round match between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Providence ending in a OT win for Scranton. Game# 2389936

Updated the playoff schedule with a handful of completed games, the rest are still active, and I have sent one reminder as needed. I'll make the next couple of games in a day or so, that way we don't get too far ahead of the player currently on vacation.
All the playoff series have been updated now, and ncardoso is back from his vacation, so he is ready to start all of his games with BaldAdonis. I've sent lots of Game 5s out to players and 1 Game 6, so there should be games for just about everyone to join.
So far, there is 1 team that has advanced to the Divisional Finals: Philadelphia Phantoms
