Win percentage is an unfair tiebreaker. I think the only fair thing to do if they shorten the season is to go back to 68 games, the total of games each team has played and base the playoffs of those point totals. Why would winning percentage be an unfair tiebreaker? It is literally the only way to even up to account for the different number of games played by different teams. The MOST unfair thing would be to award spots based on if you happened to play more games than another team... Ignoring games already played to try to even out the numbers is honestly a dumb idea in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fitting for a year shut down by illness. There's no way. The Cup needs to be won, not awarded. I have a feeling we have seen the last of NHL hockey until next season. This isn't like bad weather that you can wait out for a while and then things go back to normal. With how things are escalating, I can't see there being any way to return to play before it would be too late. It may be months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they would just go in lock step with the NHL. I imagine the AHL would do the same. No way the bigger leagues shut down and they keep going.

Alflives Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 With the league shutting down this early, escrow might be 50% this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a good solution would be to re-do the remaining schedule so that all teams finish with 72 games played. It would give the playoff bound teams at least one game to get ready for playoff action and it would give the bubble teams the opportunity to win, or lose their playoff spot.

That is a good idea... maybe bump it up by a couple games to ensure that every team gets at least 2-3 games to get back into sync before the playoffs.

Just cancel the season, and start again next October. My guess is that will happen eventually, anyways. They'll suspend for now, but eventually have to just cancel everything as there won't be enough time to get the playoffs completed in time for next season. In my opinion, the worst thing they could do is change how the playoffs are played, just for the sake of having playoffs. I would prefer they cancelled it altogether rather than cheapen the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
