NHL'er Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 On the bright side, if this marks the end of the regular season, the Canucks are in the playoffs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) We bump Calgary in PPG% . So we are 3d in division and a playoff team. I don't believe NHL will come back to play and finish this regular season and/or playoffs. So for draft purposes since we are in a playoff position our 1st round pick goes to NJD via TBL for Miller trade.

Topcheeze86 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Marky and tanev should be healthy by resume date we will most likely be 100% once season resumes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very silly to think. They specifically said they are pausing. They'll likely resume in 1 - 3 months when Corona has died down. The season will be played out. The Canucks will be our 2020 Stanley Cup Champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do the math. If they need to shut down for 3 months how will they complete the season and playoffs in time to start the 2020/21 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Zepp Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Massive societal overreaction in general as young/ healthy people are not being impacted BUT it is only a game and professional sports is far less important than societal decisions about health so it was inevitable that season would be cancelled. Prediction - no SC this year just as Spanish Flu did once upon a time to NHL. SARS and H1N1 were far more dangerous to younger healthy people but the age we find ourselves prides decisions that are hysterical in proportion to risk so it is what it is (Bertuzzi invoked). Good year for growth for Vancouver. They will hit the ground running nicely for 2020-21. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 IF they resume this season/playoffs you would think that they would shorten the regular season next year as well to give adequate time off for the players. I would say playoffs are unlikely at this point. But if we do resume this year at least we will have Markstrom back healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I honestly dont see the season playoff resuming. Look at how long the virus been spreading for? It's been 3 months and it's still spreading around in china even though it's somewhat contained there according to them. I dont think any player would be willing to play playoff hockey in july august and then literally have 0 time off and start the 2021 season. Plus ice condition would be atrocious and most fans would be on summer vacation if this virus passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo thinks it’s silly to think the league won’t play out a full season and playoffs. The fact of the matter is it’s incredibly unlikely that they can do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most players would still jump at the chance to play for the cup, even if it meant next to no time off before the next season. 7 minutes ago, qwijibo said: That’s my point.

There is a higher risk from this year's flu and the remaining remnants of H1N1 but, hey, if you want zero risk I get it. NHL didn't shut during SARS in 2003 or in 2009 with H1N1 when healthy young people were dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL needs a somewhat lengthy offseason just to give all the guys playing through injuries enough time to have their surgeries done and ample time to heal. Its doubtful the NHLPA would allow the season to go too far into the summer. Edited March 12, 2020 by skolozsy2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
