News: KHL ends regular season early, and unexpected?

[Flukeshot]

Official statement on the continuation of the KHL season

Would love to get local KHL fans to help me understand this decision.

Were their rumors this would potentially happen?

It seems like a last minute decision. Maybe they expected the NHL to go and therefore would not have impacted KHL rosters as much.

After the teams declined on the possibility to play the remaining games during the Olympics that was the only option, so nothing unexpected. Definitely not a fan of the decision, but oh welp.

Nice, the VHL/MHL leagues will be much stronger until then if teams choose to assign their younger players there.

This playoff seeding is too good to be true, I can’t wait for Loko to crash the party by beating Dynamo so it’s back to normal with Jokerit-CSKA in the second round

I wonder what they will do with Torpedo and Amur, especially, as they are close to breaking into the PO spots? They must have some plan in place, or maybe include them? Interesting decision. Being a Dinamo Riga fan, my season ended at about game 10 of the regular season so it doesn't affect me so much!

Thats brutal. And some months ago this league was given to us as an example, how well could they handle COVID.

Ok, i can live with that.

 

[Gold Standard]

too funny.

They did handle it well. There is no COVID related grounds for this decision. It is all Olympics break this, Olympics break that blah-blah-burb...

Dumb decision for sure, but I don't care much as I am in the stage of waiting for big changes on my team anyway and don't care for what they do this season.

 

[Atas2000]

too funny.

Why? Because you just want to hate on the KHL?

Maybe the knew Ukraina would be invaded by then?

It appears that even many in the Russian state security apparatus were not in the know. It's fairly safe to say that the Russian hockey community or the KHL had no clue and the events have simply overrun the entire league.
