OK...let's change gears.
Enclosed below is the NHL's 2018 playoff match-ups for the Stanley Cup!!!
"Here are the first-round playoff match-ups, based on today's standings. The top three teams in each division earn berths in the playoffs. The next two teams in terms of total points in the conference, regardless of division, earn the wild-card spots. This provides a total of eight teams from each conference.
The top seed in each division plays one of the wild-card teams in its conference. The division leader with the most points plays the wild-card team with the fewest points. The second and third seeds in each division face each other in the first round".
