oh.. I forgot to explain the playoffs to Esther..
Esther, the playoffs is a tournament that takes place AFTER the regular season. It's 4 stages of 4 out of 7 matches against the same opponent. First team to 4 wins moves on in a left/right pyramid bracket configuration until only 2 teams are left . They play for a trophy called the STANLEY CUP (oooooh.....aaaaah.....). It involves the better teams in the NHL so you don't have to worry yourself too much about it, but I thought you might want a rudimentary understanding of it.
