Well first of all how likely is this? I mean ok it COULD happen but really how likely is it. I'm sure they have rules in place but I would guess proably by something like goals. I don't think they would start a new round robin for just those 3 teams.

It is like this\n1. Division winner with the best record\n2. Division winner with the 2nd best record\n3. Division winner with the worst record\nThen it goes by record till the last seed.

Zero. The first thing that needs to be pointed out is that a division winner automatically gets a playoff berth. The second thing is that everyone in the division plays everyone else twice. If all of those games inside the division ends in a tie, then its possible for everyone in the division ( if they all lose all of their games outside of the division ) to end the season with Zero wins, Ten losses, and Six ties ! From there we go through the N.F.L.'s tie-breaking system. For ties within a division, it will probably be broken up on level 6- Strength Of Schedule. The team with the toughest schedule will go to the playoffs. WITHOUT A WIN !!

The 4 teams in each group play each other.  The two teams with the most points (win 3 pts, undecided 1 pt) advance to the next round.  If 2 teams have the same number of points, they look at their goal difference (goals made vs. goals against).  If that is also the same, they look at the result of the game played between the 2 teams.  If they played to an "undecided", then they raffle off the next round.  Sounds unfair, but what else is there - a "drink-off"??  THAT would be cool, though....

If your playing 500 hockey you are winning as much as your losing.\ngood example 10-10-0-0. It's like being 50/50\n\nGO SABRES!!!!

The first tie-breaker would be wins.\nThe next tie-breaker is the head-to-head season matchup. Goal differential is the next deciding factor.

It goes down to goal difference. This is calculated by; number of goals for minus goals against. Team with the higher goal difference goes through.

the top seed plays the lowest seed in the second round.  if that were the 7th seed they would play them if the 7th seed defeats the 2nd seed in the first round.  if it were the 5th or sixth seed they would play the 6th seed if they won the first round bot that would happen if the 6th seed beats the 3rd seed in the 1st round.. the 5th seed would play the 1st seed if they won the first round series between the fourth and fifth seed and the sixth seed lost to the 3rd seed.  now if the 1st, 2nd and 3rd seeds lose, the 4th seed would play the 8th seed and the 5th seed would play the 7th seed.  that rarely happens.  as far as reseeding in the playoffs, the nhl does not reseed.

One of the teams is asign as the home team and the other as visitng team.  \nThe score of the game is display  x : y, where :\n*The first number (in this case x) reference the home team score,\n* : is used to separate the score\n* The second number (in this case y) reference the visiting team score\n\nSo with this in mind, we have that 3:2  and 2:3 have diferent meaning, but both of them refer 5 goals\n3:2 means 3 gols for the home team and 2 goals for the visiting team (home team won)\n2:3 means 2 gols for the home team and 3 goals for the visiting team (home team lost)\n\nThe score 4:2 (2:1), means\n* 4:2 The final score was 4 gols for the home team and 2 gols for the visitng team\n* (2:1), show how the score was at the end of the first half time: 2 gols for the home team and 1 goal for the visiting team.

You might consider doing it similar to how the NHL does - Award 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie. Or whatever numbers you choose to use. In this way if a team that is 32-0 would have 64 points, but a team that is 31-0-1 would only have 63 points and a team that is 31-1 would only have 62. The only glitch would be a 32-0 team would have 64 points, but a 31-0-2 team would also have 64 points. That's why you may consider a 3 point for a win instead of 2, since it would be rather rare to have that many ties. \n\nIt also depends on the total number of games played for each team. You could also do a winning percentage, where you take the wins and divide it by the total number of games played, where ties do not equal wins.

In http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/i/eu/fifa/regen.pdf , on page 41 it notes the tie-break rules. It seems that in the case of all matches finishing 0-0, (or 1-1, 2-2,... but *not* mixtures of these drawn scores - as goals scored / conceded may then play a part) then the drawing of lots decides the teams goig through, so basically shortest straw wins

OK... so the question isn't completely clear, but here's my best interpretation... The winner needs best of seven games, so the first team to rack up four wins will win the whole thing.  If the Flames win in exactly 6 games, then that means that game 6 was their fourth win.  In the previous 5 games, they must have won three and lost two.  There are 10 different ways they could have gotten these three wins and two losses.  It might have been Win, Win, Win, Lose, Lose.  Or it might have been Win, Win, Lose, Win, Lose.  And so on and so forth.  The probabilty of the first pattern is 0.8*0.8*0.8*0.2*0.2.  (20% chance of a loss).  The probability of the second pattern is the same: 0.8*0.8*0.2*0.8*0.2 (although the order of the numbers is different the product is the same).  There are ten patterns.  So, the chance of winning 3 out of five is 10*0.8^3*0.2^2.  Then, the chance of winning game 6 is 0.8.  So the odds are 0.16384 or about 16%.

Good question. No doubt the Oilers have momentum on their side after playing a near-perfect game 6...BUT...the 'Canes have home ice advantage on their side for the deciding game and those fans will be NUTS! Additionally, since the 7 game format started in 1939, there have only been 13 game 7's...and the home team has won 11 of those. The only thing that remains is this: with the 'Canes having blown a 3-1 series lead, will they become the second team to lose a Stanley Cup final after leading 3 games to 1? The Maple Leafs (GOD, that hurt to say that! LOL) did it 54 years ago. Is it time for history to repeat itself and see the Oilers win their 6th cup in franchise history? I think so. I believe the 'Canes' psyche is far more fragile after two absolutely devastating and demoralizing losses and they won't have enough to close the deal.

The 32 teams who have qualified for the finals are drawn into eight seperate groups,  with four teams in each group.\n\nWithin each group, the four teams play each other once. So every single team plays a minimum of three matches.\n\nThe winner and runner-up in each group progress to the next stage.\n\nInevitably, if a team loses it first two matches, it is very unlikely to progress even if it wins its last match. But it must still play its last match regardless, because the result still  may effect the rest of its group. Ever match must be completed for fairness, even if there is no mathematical chance of either side progressing.

Thats difficult to say. It isn't all the teams that have ever one it, infact it is quite empty now as Caroline who won last year was the first team inscribed on the new ring. They cup can only grow so big so they take the bottom ring off and add a new one to the top when it gets full. If you want to figure it out yourself. \n\nThe first ring only contains 1 team.\n3 rings contain 13 teams.\n1 ring contains only 12 teams as the 1965 Montreal Canadiens use more space then they were supposed to.\n\nThat means the last 52 teams to win the cup are on it.\n\nThe players for that team engraved must follow certain guidelines\n\n-a player must have played at least 41 games for the championship team during the regular season and stay with the team in the playoffs until the end \n-Or played in one game of the Finals\n-There are exceptions made by the league however\n\nSo if you really want to know use that and do some research and you should be able to figure it out. \n\nAlthough estimating that there are 21 players per team there would be roughly 1100 names on the cup. Thats give or take a few though, most likely more.
