Re: NHL 2016.2: An All-Canada Final (Playoffs and Off-season)
If this really is the end of the Thornton Era it seems oddly poetic that it was bookended by playoff losses to the Edmonton Oilers.

Anahem is the Pacific #1 seed out west. The Wild had the second most points in the West (one more than Anaheim) and were the Central #2 seed out west. Had Anaheim and Minnesota met in the Western Conference finals, Anaheim would have had home ice advantage.

Wrong. The Wild would have had home ice advantage. Home ice is by points not seed.

My mistake. You're partially right. Home ice for the Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup is based on points. Home Ice for the first two rounds are based by seed. So yes, the Wild could have had home ice for the Conference Finals had they not choked against the Blues (and presumably not choked against Nashville).

Sure, but that's because of this stupid divisional system they put in that punishes good divisions and rewards bad ones.
