The first week of the playoffs just came and went, and just like that KA-Booooom, the 6th seed, Andre Poodle Lussier has upset HANK’S AUTOSHOP to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
The match ended in a tie, but a review of the the Yahoo! Fantasy Sports playoffs tiebreaker shows that the first tiebreaker is total goals, and the second tie breaker is total assists. Milan Michalek’s game winning goal in San Jose tonight is the most important goal of the season for APL, giving him a tie in total goals, total game winning goals, and APL advanced by having more assists.
So what does this do the playoff picture? Instead of Reggie ‘Reg’ Dunlop playing HANK’S AUTOSHOP and Ottawa HC playing Best Goalies Ever, we may see Ottawa HC playing Andre Poodle Lussier and Reggie ‘Reg’ going against the very hot Best Goalies Ever. That would all make logical sense, but alas, Ottawa HC will end up playing the higher seed in Best Goalies Ever. How does that work? I have no idea.
In other news, the consolation bracket moves to round 2 as well. The good news is, all the losers finally got through one week with a win, since they all had byes. Nice job.
