The top four teams from each conference each make the playoffs. Seed 1 will play seed 4, and seeds 2 & 3 will play each other. The winners of those series play each other, and then the winner of that series will play another conference's winner, up until the stanley cup finals. and as far as the all star game goes, I think they're sticking to that stupid fantasy sports draft thing, or even NA vs the World bullshit.
One positive about this, they are clearly making an effort to get the coyotes out of phoenix. Quebec is already promising to build an 18,000 seat arena, so it looks like we'll see the return of the Nordiques soon. Now if only we could get a team back in Hartford...
