  3. I don't think the NHL re-seeds anymore right? I thought the Blackhawks would play the winner of Blues and Kings.


    Also, I would love to see Detroit beat the Ducks cause that is the one team I do not want the Blackhawks to play.

    This is apparently the only reference to the NHL playoffs on the internet. It suggests that they are still re-seeding.
