The Canucks should have to forfeit this game instead of postponement, and the Oilers should be assigned a positive goal differential equal to the number of players under the minimum the Canucks are.
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.
|
Have you forgotten how the NHL works whenever the Oiler franchise is concerned? Theft of draft picks for McLennan, Chiarelli, Lucic, length of suspensions, last years bump into the play-in pool.. you can't ever expect the "reasonable thing" from the NHL when it comes to the Oilers.. and when you said the NHL wasn't happy about top seeds losing in teh play-in, I don't think that includes Oilers losing to Chicago, I think it gave them a happy face.
