Tournament Notes Western Conference logos dominated Wildcard Week, defeating their Eastern opponents in 11 of 15 polls. ... The Ducks logo set a new record low with 561 votes in Week 6. ... Feather symbolism is featured in 4 of the 8 logos that advanced to the Quarterfinals. Five of 8 logos include obvious letterforms. Five of 8 feature red as a primary color. Nine of 30 NHL logos feature an animal; none of which advanced.
Tie-breaking Since the playoff format is not points-based, the winning logo will be determined by the total number of votes received rather than the percentage. In the unlikely event of an exact tie, a 24-hour run-off poll will be held the following day. (This will shorten the subsequent round of voting by one day.)

Winners tis week: SABRES, Canucks, Wild, Thrashers, Coyotes, Bolts, Panthers and Sharks i'm stumped, Blues, Bruins, and canes.
Obviously most of you don't get what the Hurricanes secondary logo actually is because I think that it is on of the best logos in the league. Sabers will win the tourney because their logo is simply unbeatable. Canucks should be runner-up because the logo is a brilliant twist of the original, it should replace the orca. I don't get what is so amazing about the blackhawks logo. You guys are all living the past and honestly the coyotes logo is better. The Wilds logo is the bet script that i've ever seen and to put the icing on the cake, they put it on a brilliant jersey.
It's a hurricane warning flag and it's also a dreadful logo.
@ Austin E.
I fail to see what is so billiant about the Canucks stick n rink logo... Big deal, it forms a "C". The best Canucks logo was the flying skate logo. Love the L.A 3rd's... Make a matching set of those and that would be awesome!
@ Austin E. & Jimmo,
I happen to love BOTH the modified Stick 'n Rink and the Speeding Skate crests. Which leads me to why I love the full-body Johnny Canuck logo so much. Not only does JC represent the history of the team name, but the stick he's carrying is an element of the Stick logo and the skates he's wearing are elements of the Skate logo. I will take ANY Canucks logo over the "Vancouver" Orca anyday.
Sorry, Jimbo, I spelled your name wrong. Cheers.
A logo depicting a flag is hardly inspiring or attractive to look at. People need to get out more.
The Canucks messed up logo history is a reflection of a ownership struggles between many different parties. It started with greedy Toronto interests looking to fleece the city of Vancouver for free land. The city balked and the Toronto interests vowed to never allow Vancouver an NHL franchise. If it wasn't for them the Canucks would have entered the NHL in 1967 and would have kept their WHL uniforms.
I wonder if there's a double curse involved. The Leafs have not won the cup since 1967 - the year the Canucks should have entered the NHL. The Canucks have not won a championship since they stopped using the Johnny Canuck logo and stopped wearing their WHL uniforms.
Minnesota vs Pittsburghis way too close to call at least Florida doesn't have to be involved in that matchup... Or does it??...........
