The first determining factor for the playoffs is whether you won your division. Division winners get automatic playoff berths, regardless of their record. Overall records only come into play for tiebreakers.
In a non-strike season prior to 2010 no team below .500 has made the playoffs. In 1982, a strike wiped out 7 games of the regular season and the NFL decided to allow 8 teams from each conference to make the playoffs in the hopes that the owners could recoup some of the lost money. Both the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions made the playoffs with a record of 4-5 and lost in the first round.
Yes the NHL playoffs are fair. The top 8 teams in each conference make it to the playoffs. It doesn't matter what team your own, it just matters if you made the top 8 teams. The playoffs are completely fair.
They have made the playoffs 25 times with a record of 17-18.
