Who should win? CGY or COL.

Colorado and Calgary tied. We do not have a matchup tiebreaker. What should we do?

I voted winner of goalie categories. Issuing regular season does not make sense when deciding playoff matchups. In the playoffs, goalies are huge and so I think goalie categories should decide the winner.

[Wild GM (Jonathan)]

I think goalie Cats are more important then assists but I'm looking at this in a different way now. If you are in a Hockey tournament or any sports for the matter, the first way you move on when you are tied with another team, is the head to head matchup, so whoever won the head to head matchup should move on to the next round.

Assists break the tie (goals are tied, wouldve went with goals as tiebreaker)

[Lightning GM (Carl)]

I voted for reg season record. As a playoff tiebreak had not been previously established, feel the current rules should carry forward as oppose to setting them after the fact.

Otherwise I don’t like that reg season impacts playoffs and a playoff tiebreak should be set in the offseason.

I also don't love how this poll is worded

For the GMs seeing this for the first time, we are trying to figure out a tie breaker for playoff matchups.

Winner of assists (option1) is only assists because goals are tied (people may not realize and think the option is actually for assists) 

Winner of goalie categories (option2) is broad since there are 4 goalie categories. 


People have suggested the following:

Regular season head to head (Colorado 7-6-1)
Overall regular season record (Calgary)
Goals(tied) Assists/points (Colorado)
Winner of goalie Categories (Colorado)

[Panthers GM (Klein)]

I'm choosing the head to head match up, for basically the same reasons the islanders stated. I think especially now considering how this is happening it's also probably the safer way to decide this outcome, as opposed to putting all the value into 1 scoring category

[Hurricanes GM (Will)]

I suggest who won each individual night . In this example CGY won going 4-1-2 during the 7 nights ... this is not perfect because it could also result in a tie but could be the 1st option to break a tie that is something the series it self decided 

[Golden Knights GM (Andy)]

Regular season record. Breaks tie. 
Hard work through out the year should mean something since there is no home ice advantage.
