Made me tear up when Doc said "or sadly, a virus victim's family". I miss my uncle.

Personally, I don't see how the logistics would work to make that happen. They'd have to start the playoffs based on Win % but they'd also have to do some exhibition games before they could trot them out on the ice. I don't see it happening. |

Since it's the, well, unwanted off season, let's have some fun...
EDIT: And you all know I'm a soccer fan too. It's just fun... |

Still a lot to happen for hockey to come back, but if it does, they've agreed on what it's gonna look like.

I saw the thread and immediate thought, oh shit...
Makes sense to get it in, whether it's now or in another month... they can always wait until January to determine if they can start a shortened 2020-2021 season. |

The 24-team return to play format has a lot of holes - IMO.
It's been proposed as a bracket as opposed to a seeding system. Gambling reasons, perhaps? |

There were a few teams that were super hot right before the stoppage (off the top my head Rangers, Hawks & Wild) and there were teams that were falling quickly (off the top of my head Islanders & Canucks), so it gives "on the cusp" teams a fair shot to make it without hearing players, coaches, GMs & owners crying about how they never got the chance to fight for a playoff spot. I believe the "top 4" from each conference was something that the NHLPA, owners and NHL were willing agree on as the set teams. |

It's the bracket vs. seeded part I don't get. You'll definitely have upsets in the 24 team tournament. How is that fair to Boston if they have to play the winner of 4 vs. 5 as opposed to the lowest seed that won in their division/conference? |

Hopefully they figure out a way to do it. One of the biggest disappointments this spring is no Cup playoffs every night.

I have no become a Vancouver Cannucks fan now that I realize they have a whale as a logo. Very disappointed in Las Vegas dumb Golden Knight name. So are they going to be any good? The Cannuks?
