If they do force the season to play it out regardless of how many players get sick, I can't wait for the controversy when a Crosby/Panarin/MacKinnon/McDavid-level player is held out of a series due to testing positive, and their team loses. Or a starting goalie. Fingers crossed it's not Ovechkin.
Any resumption of the season is going to be a farce, one way or another.
I am not sure that I get any of this. The NHL isn't going to force play regardless of how many players get sick. There isn't a chance that the NHLPA would allow that. Meanwhile a well run playoffs isn't anything close to a farce. Suggesting that it would be doesn't make sense. Could play be damaged by infections? Yes. Could enough damage ruin the play? Yes. Was Sundays NASCAR race at Darlington a farce? Hell no. Would trying to play an NHL playoffs be a gamble? Yes. Would it be a joke? Hell no
