Was bored thought I would come up with this

Because of the border issue , 2weeks quarantine when traveling.

Just for the 20-21 season.

Pittsburgh
Islanders
Bost
Buf
Det

Chicago
Min
Tb
Nash
Flo
Carolina
Washington

Ana
Dallas
Col
Vegas
Phoenix

This would be a radical idea for one season.
Would also bring a shit load of hockey talk

The NHL would not have to worry about borders.

Teams would play within there division

By the time the playoffs begin, things should be in place to protect people maybe sooner.

The playoff format
The top 16 teams make the playoffs

Somehow we would still get the Bruins in the first round.

If this is still so bad that the Canada/USA border is still closed next year there won't be a season.

We should be play for 2021 in Canada .
Not to sure about the USA with Trump running things.

You won't see fans in NHL arenas come October .

At least doing it this way if, if the USA ( trump ) f***s up .
We will still see hockey.
Next season is going to be bizarre anyways.

I think it's actually possible that the USA gets back to normal first based on them achieving herd immunity more quickly because of how terrible they're handling things. I think any semblence of normal in a world without a vaccine or herd immunity isn't going to happen. The world will "resume" because economically it has to, but the restrictions will still suck and the USA falling ass backwards into herd immunity with way more deaths will allow them to be normal more quickly I think. But the way they get there is obviously not a good thing.

Interesting thought sire, yeah, you treally in there on that thought I see into it. Some ideas come from dreams sire, did you know that one?
But moving in on this, I was one of the first ones (maybe even the first sucka) to point out that this already going season would continue eventually. Because of money, power and dollar. They are moving in already this season, maybe something bout 1-2 months from this day already. They that hard and bout their money. Ain't even no thang. But next season: My prediction is this the following: Canada's and US border will be open again and all nhl families will be playing normally, just like always again. This wave will go down and eas up a lot mayne. So we bout our life and game again after that dirt right thurr. Y'all already remmember how chingy /the rapper said early 2000'. Like: Right thurr." I won't be inserting any link or video of it as an evidense of the song, but I also cannot stop any fool human being, man or ma'am doing so.

Technically you could just delay the start of next season until 2021 and hopefully things politically will be a little more predictable.

I think there will be a 19-20 stanley cup winner. ... regardless of when it starts. Format will be modified ... shorter series.

They may put all the teams in the playoffs !

Not too sure I could handle the Leafs playing the Sens 13 times in one season. :pullhair::sarcasm:
