This is the rule, voted on in 2007:

The majority voted for this option:
Base seedings on record alone (tiebreakers will work same as getting into playoffs)
Mike, you even explained at the time, winning your division would not guarantee seeding 2 or 3.
"FYI, the 2nd option is to change the playoff seedings from 1-4 to be based solely on record. Wheras in the existing format, the 4 seed is ALWAYS the wildcard, even when they have a better record than one of the division winners.
This proposal would allow the wildcard to be seeded anywhere from 2-4, since the 1 seed would obviously have a better record by winning a division.
Basically seeds 2 3 and 4 would look at records. Winning your division would not guarentee you a 2 or 3 seed (no should it). Statistaclly, over 6 seasons in SACD and the Frenzy the 4 seed has knocked out the 1 seed every year. That same 4 seed has had a better record than at least one and often 2 higher seeds.
This proposal is to ensure that the 1 seed is rewarded with facing the team with the worst record."
So apparently you disagree with yourself now that you are a victim of the rule, but its pretty clearly stated this is how the seeding should be.
We can propose to change it in the offseason, but per rules, the seedings are proper.
