According to Bettman it is 82 games
Bettman said the goal is to finish the playoffs and have a full 2020-21 season.
My goal is to reach my ideal weight through a nacho-rich diet.
They’ll have to balance the budget to see if it’s worth playing in empty arenas, because I think live sports are done for 2020. It may not be.
TV revenue for the playoffs should be very good, as networks are starving for any programming - especially sports. I mean, FOX expanded The Masked Singer from one hour to two hours with a painfully dull after show simply because they’re afraid of running out of programming. Injecting 15 playoff matches, plus 8 play-ins, plus 2 sets of round roving, will satisfy NBC’s itch for programming.
But 82 games next season with no fans? That may not be profitable for some teams.
