The biggest thing is that there are NO GAMES OUTSIDE THE DIVISION in the regular season. It's purely a race for the top four spots in the division to make the playoffs.

That Canadian division is gonna be tough for my Habs.

Bearcat 12-20-2020 03:08 PM
That's really close to what I randomly made up last night thinking about the divisions.... I had Dallas and Minnesota swapped.

Should be the Blues' and Avalanche's division to lose.. and probably stupid Vegas.

On the plus side, you're only competing against 6 other teams instead of 7.

I take it they took into consideration of Canada's policy as well (the 14 day rule if leaving their country/returning), as to why it's all Canadian division?

If that's the case, that makes sense.

Correct. That's really the main reason for the bizarre structure.

I was gonna post and say that Minnesota is actually more of a "Northern" team than Vancouver (whos really a Western team), but that's before I realized that 14 day rule.

Bizzare structure, yes it is, but if it works and allows them to have a season, sometimes you just have to do things in a unconventional way.

Dallas being in the Central while STL and MIN are West makes 0 sense to me but whatever.

Habs are weakest team by far , 6 or 7 teams won’t make a difference it atleast I get to see mcdavid more often.

Sorry 12-20-2020 03:37 PM
Those Canadian games would’ve been CRAZY with a full crowd

Great change to hopefully reduce challenges.

One of the NHL's most controversial rules is getting a tweak: Starting in 2021, a player's skate will not have to be in contact with the blue line to be considered onside.

The "plane" designation means players will no longer have to drag their skates along the ice as they cross into their attacking zone, and it could help reduce coach's challenges. Last season, there were 75 coach's challenges for offside, with 56 overturned, per Scouting the Refs.

The new language for Rule 83.1 reads: "A player is onside when either of his skates are in contact with the blue line, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leading edge of the blue line."

Yeah, that's a net positive. I wonder if there will be any issue with guys stretching their legs out backward in the air or whatever, but that's probably a fairly awkward move. (I'm not a skater if you can't tell.)

Here's to my Ducks landing the best odds at not getting the number 1 pick.

I'm sure there will be a playoff "couldn't tell from the angle if the player's leg was across the line" botched call.
