re: #257 nines09

My thing is, the NHL wants to do this abbreviated 24 team playoff but they don’t even have full squads practicing on the ice yet which means the earliest we could see actual games would probably be late next month or early August. So if it’s August 8th and we’re just starting a 24 team playoff the end of this season is going to crash right into the next one and how the fuck is that going to work?

I know there’s a lot of money involved but for safety’s sake it’s probably better to scrap this season and just have no champion (which is what happened during the last major pandemic) then see about getting your shit together for the fall.
