Playoff Seeding incorrect in 1948-49 ...

... The Rangers finished fourth in the NHL in 1948-49, but were somehow seeded third in the playoffs.

I believe the playoff structure is correct, as 3 played 1 and 4 played 2 in those days, but I think the Rangers should've faced the Habs and the Leafs should've faced the Wings.

Yeah, it should've been 1v3 and 2v4, it looks like it's swapped the Leaf and Ranger places in the standings for some reason, we'll check that.
