Historical - wrong playoff seedings

Canuck82 · 12-08-2016, 08:35 AM

Trying out my full historical run and noticed that the playoff matchups are always wrong. With four team playoffs, it is always 1 vs 2 and then 3 v 4. Is this fixed in any of the updates?

Which seasons are you seeing that in? That's the actual format used by the NHL in some years. I just checked a couple of later historical seasons and it's the correct 1v4, 2v3 in those years.

During the original six years - I am up to 1948 now. It lists the seedings on the playoff chart correctly 1v4 and 2v3, but it slots the wrong teams in. The team that finished first is given the #1 slot, the team that finished second gets the number 4 slot, the team in third gets the number 2 slot and the team that finishes fourth gets the number three slot.

As you can see here

Hmm, the 1v4,2v3 on the playoff chart is just an incorrect label, but 1v2,3v4 is only supposed to last up until 1941-42, then it should switch to 1v3,2v4 until they drop that format in 1971-72 and go to 1v4,2v3. We'll have to get that fixed (as well as the mistake on the chart.)

Yeah, I had this exact same problem for the 1965-66 season.

Standings during the season were:

1. Chicago
2. Toronto
3. New York
4. Detroit

Playoffs should've been:
1. Chicago vs 3. New York
2. Toronto vs 4. Detroit

but instead were:
1. Chicago vs 2. Toronto
3. New York vs 4. Detroit

Thanks for getting it fixed
