Is it possible to do a whole season in the bubbles?
rychicken replied to VegasCanuck's topic in Canucks Talk
I get that they are reliant on ticket sales for a chunk of their revenue, but I could see them trying to do something. Of course,it would take a lot of coordination and compromise between the league, NHLPA, media partners etc 3 mini-seasons / 2 bubbles JAN = Pac Division and Metro in Bubble A , Central and Atlantic in Bubble B MAR = Metro and Atlantic in Bubble A, Pac and Central in Bubble B MAY = Pac and Central in Bubble A, Metro and Atlantic in Bubble B Each month you play one game against each team in your bubble, every other day. Top x number of teams (my suggestion is 4) in each bubble each month qualify for the playoffs. As there will be some teams qualifying multiple times, any additional spots will be filled by wild card teams to get to a 24 team playoff Some system to seed monthly bubble winners above the rest (overall win %?), etc then the 24 team playoffs in July, using the same format as this year. this format would allow a team that did not do well in JAN to start with a fresh slate and chance to qualify in a subsequent month which would keep fan interest going. Mr Bettman, you can send me a thank-you note, and Mr Aquilini, you can send me some blueberries... -
