2017 EHE Playoffs Begin April 27!
Posted: Wed. Apr. 26, 2017 5:18 pm
The regular season has concluded and the playoffs are here!
Playoffs games at the NHL-level will begin on Thursday, April 27 at 10:30pm EDT. Meanwhile, the AHL playoffs will begin a day later on Friday, April 28.
Like last year, teams in the playoffs are expected to always have valid lineups, since this is the reason you are playing sim hockey! You will have one warning for the entire playoffs if your lineups are out of compliance. Anything more than that will result in a fine, which will be double the regular season amount.
Teams also have the ability to call up as many players as they want for the NHL playoffs -- However, the simulator still requires you to dress a 20-man team, even if you no longer have games, so be careful with this.
The EHE Entry Draft lottery will be announced at a later time and the Vegas GM lottery is expected to take place within the next few days but will not be announced until all qualifying applicants have completed their playoffs.
Just a reminder that the AHL playoffs do not necessarily follow a 2-2-1 or 2-2-2-1 format and are based on geographics. Because of this, our website has trouble figuring out who is actually leading a series while it is being played. Please closely follow your game results to verify whether you have won or lost a series!
Here comes the fun, everyone! 6 playoff teams this year when in the draft lottery a year ago. There will be a new Stanley Cup Champion and now is your time to shine!
