Mode
For the playoffs qualified in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference each of the eight best teams. For each division is accordingly qualified four, the top four teams for the playoffs. Only the fifth-placed team of a major New England Division and Empire State Division were excluded from the playoffs, regardless of the performance of the season. So it was that the team Beast of New Haven with 78 points as fifth in the New England Division in the regular season was indeed better than four subsequent playoff participants, and yet the season was over for them.
In the first three playoff rounds, the winner of the Eastern or Western Division were played, which then clashed in the final of the Calder Cup. While the first playoff round in the best- of-five - mode has been played, all other playoff rounds and finals for the Best -of -Seven mode were played.
