Not NHL, but hell of a couple of FrozenFour games last night. Notre Dame vs. Minnesota-Duluth in the championship.

There's a supposed nightmare scenario in play where the Flyers lose by two to the Rangers and Florida wins twice in shootouts, leaving them in a dead tie with 96 points and 39 ROW. They split the season series, because the second game played in Florida doesn't count for tiebreaker purposes. May be a coin flip if that happens?
Why would the last game between them not count for tiebreaker purposes?League just announced that the Flyers and Panthers would play a tiebreaking game if this occurs. No shootout. Basically a playoff play-in game with five-on-five overtimes.
Because teams from different divisions only play three times, only the first home game for each counts when deciding the season series. I guess the NHL deems it unfair that one team gets more home games than the other. It actually makes sense.Why would the last game between them not count for tiebreaker purposes?
Gotcha. Didn't realize that. Thanks.Because teams from different divisions only play three times, only the first home game for each counts when deciding the season series. I guess the NHL deems it unfair that one team gets more home games than the other. It actually makes sense.

Was firing Vignault the right move for the Rangers? I've always thought he was a pretty good coach, but I don't really know for sure.
