I know every Canuck fan want us to win the *Asterisk Cup* so that Loui can retire a winner,
but I would go the other way.
In an unlikely best case senario, hockey restarts in a month, that is 2 -14 day cycles
training camp starts May 20 for 3 days
first game is Saturday, May 23 with StL in Colorado, one game to decide division champion
playoffs start in the East on Sunday May 24 and in the West Monday May 25
Division finals, top 2 teams in each division, best of 5
teams play every other night. games 5 on Sunday May 31 or Monday June 1
Round 2 - Conference finals start on June 2 and 3 (5 games) finish on June 10-11
Finals (7 games ) start June 13 end Saturday June 27 (if 7)
At this point in the standings no 3rd place team is within striking distance of the top 2 because of games in hand, so playoffs is top 2 in each division
Colorado is the only team that could jump by winning a game in hand
