....without Bettman OT points. I'm sure we've wondered about this at some point, and I guess this is a good of a time as any to do this. (accuracy not guaranteed). Note: tiebreakers were done with ROW only.

Playoff matchups

Eastern Conference

1. Rangers vs 8. Buffalo
   
2. Boston vs. 7. Ottawa
3. Washington vs. 6. Philadelphia
4. Pittsburgh vs. 5. New Jersey

Western Conference

1. Vancouver vs. 8. Dallas
2. St. Louis vs. 7. Phoenix
3. San Jose vs. 6. Chicago
4. Nashville vs. 5. Detroit

As you can see, it looks very different as opposed to what is going on now. EXCEPT, for Nashville vs. Detroit. Some teams like Florida and Los Angeles, made the playoffs solely on the Bettman bonus points. While other teams like Buffalo and Dallas, would've made it in without them. Interesting to look at this way. Now, if any of my work is off, please let me know.
