In this episode: We share our opinions on NHL’s 24-team playoff plan. The NHLPA voted in favour of the huge plan for the eight play-in series for teams placed 5-12 in each conference to gain entry into this year’s playoffs. The top four teams in each conference will play a round robin series amongst themselves that will determine the top four seeds. There are so many details that still need to be nailed down, and we go over some of the main issues that we have with this format. In our opinions, it is certainly not a perfect format, but like we’ve said before, nothing can be favourable to every team. Montreal is ten points out of the playoffs as the standings sit since the pause, but they still have an opportunity at the Stanley Cup. We go over how this affects the Avalanche. The round robin games between the Western Conference could see them finishing as low as fourth place with the worst-case scenario. One thing is certain; hockey is nearing its return! It might finally be time to get excited, as the league seems to have things in serious motion. Stay tuned this week for more developments on this plan.
