VanIsleNuckFan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Remember folks this spreads by just breathing - and many cases have been in contact with folks who don't show symptoms - about as bad as those angles can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If we're looking at a prolonged period of uncertainty, my guess is the season will be treated in the same way as the 2004-05 lockout, canceled, and the Cup won't be awarded in 2020.

As I broke down in my post, if you go by the points per game average we’re actually ahead of the Jets and Flames, therefore putting us in a playoff position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standings show VAN and NSH each played 69 games, each team has 78 points, VAN has 36 wins, NSH has 35. So, isn't VAN ahead of NSH? This season RW (regulation wins) comes ahead of ROW (regulation and OT wins excluding shootouts) and then only it's wins of all kind. Nashville has 28 regular wins to Vancouver's 27.

Tell that to Nashville and Winnipeg who also have less than 82 games played but are in wild card position. This thing’s gonna get cancelled. We’re talking 4 to 7 weeks before Corovid-19 PEAKS. That means another 4-10 weeks for it to go down and that is all speculation so far. Other speculation calls for Corovid-19 to make its way South for their winter, and come back North next fall.

For countries that don't do their part, more people will get infected and so the pandemic will burn itself out faster. In countries that do their part, it lasts longer but far fewer people will be impacted. I saw this infographic on the subject: Yes, it will go through the community faster and herd immunity will come faster but the key point there is the mortality rate will be much higher as the health care system is not equipped to handle sudden massive increases in illnesses. The dotted line is the key one on this graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dotted line is the key one on this graph. That's what I was thinking. And if you apply that to the statement I was quoting, it will actually take longer for countries that act fast to get back to normal which will impact sports longer but save more lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 SN panel just talking about Green, and what a good coach he's become. Some funny stories about Green's poker days. Apparently he's a really good player. Maybe we're a little tough on Travis, maybe he actually is a good coach? Looking back on Willie, the coaching is better.

A line should still be drawn somewhere. They are not going to get to play an 82 game season so someone is going to get screwed or you give everyone a chance. We are in a playoff fight, if they open in May and say okay we are starting the playoffs now, those who were in when we shut down are in and those who were out are out. Then we are out. If a team comes in and loses to Detroit then they didn't deserve to win simple as that. If the Stanley cup goes out this year, which I don't think it will, it won't be under normal circumstances. There is no fair hear. Teams can't even get together and practice or use the communal facilities. If they are off for a month working out on their own, how ready are they going to be when they come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milk and honey Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 If no playoffs everyone should be eligible for the draft and Canucks should keep their pick What happened in 2004/5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 So, do the Leafs make the playoffs then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'd like to see them set a number for games played for all. Maybe like 75, each team plays to that, however the remaining schedule looks. Have the first round be a best of 3, 2nd and 3rd best of 5 and best of 7 for the finals.
