first let me say I am just doing this for my own entertainment

I think the league will and should shut down

but in the interest of fairness I should have put Arizona into the group that could make the  playoffs

because with 7 teams vying, there is a scenerio where Arizona could make the playoffs

 

ever tried to make a schedule? its pretty fun

scenerio where Airzona makes playoffs with 73 game schedule

            gr

Dallas(4) Nash/Min/Winn//Cal.....4 wins----------- 90pts--3rd

Winni (2) Dallas/Calgary.............1 los(Dal)/win-- 82pts -1st wc

Calga (3) Vanco/Dallas/Winni.....3 loss/ 0 win--- 79 pts -out

Vanco(4) Ariz/Minni/Nash/Cal.....3win/1los(Ari)--84 pts-3rd

Minni (4) Ariz/Van/Nash/Dalla.....1 win(Nash)--- 79pts- out

Nash (4) Ariz/Van/Minni/Dalla.....0 wins/4 los--- 78pts - out

Arizo (3) Nash/Van/Minnisota.....3 wins/0 los--- 80 pts - 2nd wc

 

this is how I waste my time

now that I have moved Arizona to a different group, the possible playoff group west, I must make changes to the Chicago/Montreal/Jersey/Buffalo group.

 

Chicago (3) Buff/Buff /NJ

Montreal(2) NJ/Buff (no change)

Buffalo (4) Chi/Chi/NJ/Mont

NJ (4) Colorado/Chi/Mont Buff

 

Colo (3) NJersey/Stl/Stl

you know what

we will see

 

the ice making experts

particulary the oilers ice maker

who was/is among the best

as the oilers always had the best ice in the nhl

did not share daly's optimism when nhl went into southern markets

 

and really

do you think daly would be saying anything else??

 

let's see what the ice making experts say

before adopting daly's messaging

Well vegas was in the final.  Games were played when it was 100F.  So it can be done.  Some places might need upgrades.

well it does appear

that the solution being pursued

is to find a bit of a remote locale

to play all the nhl playoff games

without any fans being present

 

that is unlikely to be a deep south location

so the heat and humidity of the deeper south

and worse, the humidity generated by fans during games

are very unlikely to be factors anyway

so ice quality will not be an issue
