BTW, you can also find this info at the end of my Hockey East Update.
I guess I know how many people read it. :-)
I am amazed at how many people have asked this. It must be Question
of the Week. Yes, the format has changed this season. It reverts
back to the best 2 of 3 format that was used in 1989-90. Although, I
must admit, I am not positive that it is exactly the same format. In
the 1989-90 HE q-finals, if a game was tied after regulation, it went
to a sudden death OT that lasted till whenever. Since neither the HE
release nor the HE yearbook say anything other than "best 2 of 3", it
is possible that only the third game would have overtime...and that
the third game would be played only if the first two were both ties or
a win for each team. I am under the impression that each game must
have a winner, though.
Last year, neither the first nor second game were slated to have OT.
A tie in the series (both teams with 2 pts) after the 2nd game ended
would result in sudden death (first goal wins) for the series. It
sounded exciting, but it never happened.
