One other thing I forgot to mention is that the top 4 seeds in each conference play a round-robin tournament to determine seeding in their respective conferences.
I'm sure many of the Hawks fans on here remember where they were 10 years ago tonight:
For those who remember, did any of you know immediately know that Kane scored or did you have a delayed reaction like pretty much everyone other than Kane and Sharp did?
First championship that I got to celebrate. One of the best days of my life. Always will have warm memories of that teamI'm sure many of the Hawks fans on here remember where they were 10 years ago tonight:

I remember. I was in Calgary for work (my boss and I, from Chicago, were the only Hawks fans in the joint) and we headed over to a steak joint for dinner with our colleagues from Canada. Watched the third period in the bar while we ate. Calgary fans were cheering for Philly (probably no surprise). When Kane scored, I watched him throw his gloves up and I jumped up with my hands in the air and stood like that until the replay showed it was over. Our Calgary colleagues (Oilers fans from Fort McMurray) congratulated us on finally having a hockey winner. It was pouring rain on the walk back to our hotel. I had an umbrella that my boss was giving me crap for earlier in the day. He talked much less crap on the way home. I stayed up watching the highlights on TSN until about 1 am. Was delightful!I'm sure many of the Hawks fans on here remember where they were 10 years ago tonight:

Great news about Wilson. Larmer should be there too. And for God's sake retire their numbers please.Marian Hossa and Doug Wilson elected to the HOF!
Mystery team wins the #1 pick - Hawks have a shot at Lafreniere
It's only the teams who do not qualify for the playoffs. This year, that will be the losers of the "play in series" which are teams 5-12 in each conference.trying to wrap my head around this 24 team playoff and multi phase draft. havn't been following until 10 minutes ago......why are the best teams in the league being drawn for the number one pick? is that how the lottery works every year?????
'20-21 season is scheduled to begin on Dec 1. There will be a training camp as players will be changing teams in the offseasonSo do the playoffs serve as some kind of extended training camp for the ‘20-‘21 season? Cause season usually starts the first week of October...
Blackhawks haven’t ruled out Corey Crawford despite being ‘unfit to play’
https://www.secondcityhockey.com/20...monton-oilers-2020-nnl-stanley-cup-qualifiers
Olli Maata and Connor Murphy also "unfit to play" (aka COVID positive)
Still time for them all to be back in time for Aug 1 start, but they lose valuable practice time. I read another article, but can't find it to link here, which says the Hawks have 4 other goalies on the roster, 2 that have NHL experience, and 2 that don't. Of the 2 experienced ones, Patrick Kane says they are getting most of the practice reps, they are doing very well, and he has confidence in them if Crawford can't play.
As far as I can tell, Oilers' Caleb Jones is their only "unfit to play".
