Home Ice Advantage wrong in Stanley Cup

So, I noticed when I played a game with the playoff format being 8 teams in each conference...that home ice advantage is wrong sometimes in the Stanley Cup. San Jose was the 2 seed in the West, Pittsburgh was the 3 seed in the East but Pittsburgh had a better record...yet San Jose had home ice in the Stanley Cup.

Yeah, looks like that format is using the initial seedings instead of points to determine home ice in the final, we'll fix that.

Also, on the standings screen, they'll sometimes show up in the wrong order of seeding. It is correct during the playoffs, but on occasion a team will be listed in the incorrect order in the standings.
