7. San Jose (Niemi) = 0.518 = 85p
8. Los Angeles (Quick) 0.512 = 84p

I just wanted to show this to understand what should be "real" ranking between the teams when they use only their 1st goalie at playoff time like everybody will do. As we know, the back-ups doesn't play a single game at the playoffs (without starter injury or choke) and how much good back-ups affect the regular season standings.

It cost the 1st seed at West to the Red Wings. Somebody should show these stats to Ken Holland that same mistake with abysmal back-ups does not happen again. I think this is also partly to blame why the wings had a shitty road record. conklin only had 2 home starts

We are fine with Howard at the playoffs, but not having a great back-up gave us a tough schedule, that usually kills at the playoffs.

I kind of hope the Nucks continue to give Schneider every 4th or so start.
A) his numbers are better than Lou's, and he got tough games, and
B) a better rested goalie tandem going into the deeper rounds could be a unique advantage.

They've gone all this way sharing duties, it seems silly on one level to abandon that in the playoffs.

Negative Clemmer has never lost to the devils and I wouldnt be surprised if he starts

In defense of Marty, the Devils played like SHIT in front of him for most of the year.

Well...Caps really don't fit into these standings...

all you have to do is look at florida's 18 loser points to figure that out

Looking like Clemmer will be starting game 1

Usually I don't like alternate standings, but these kind of make sense. Good job.

*totally not saying that because Pittsburgh plays Florida in this set-up
