Does it suck? Yes. Must the season go on? Yes, even moreso.

I think the rest of the teams would freak out over that, and there would be concerns over "integrity of the schedule" etc. I think if at the end of the season, they run out of days and absolutely have to finalize the season/standing, maybe they look at it (I still doubt it, unless it favoured the Leafs of course), but it would more likely get pro-rated or use pts. percentage.
|
Iwanyk made a good point on 1260 - the other lottery teams wouldn't want the Nucks getting free losses, either. One texter suggested that ALL the makeup games be road games for the Canucks. I can get behind that - it seems to be a way to maintain some equity for the teams caught in the blast radius.
|
Tough to make up five to eight games all involving one team and the NHL isn't going to want to delay the playoffs by a week or two for one team that's already out anyhow. I could see them trying to squeeze in a couple games here or there, but I won't be surprised if they end up finishing the season with less than 56 games and winning percentage becomes important in both deciding the North, and reseeding after the second round.
|
Or better yet, the league adds a "play-in round" for the North div, allowing CGY, VAN, EDM, & MTL to fight to the death for the final 2 spots. That would be so NHL. Would anyone be shocked if it happened?
|
I can't see it unless things tighten up a lot over the next few weeks. If the Oilers are as far ahead as they are, worst I could see the NHL doing is have a 4th/5th play-in. I don't think the league loved having the top seeds in both the play-ins lose out last year.
As for Vancouver - I think they're going to struggle here. Too many guys too sick. Their conditioning is going to be shot and they're going to struggle to get breath. I expect they're going to plummet when they finally return.
