Series Talk: Qualifying Round: Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

EDIT:Round Robin seems to be qualifying for 16 seed playoff ranking. Not 'OFFICIAL' playoff series.



6th Seed: Carolina Hurricanes 36-25-5 (81)
11th Seed: New York Rangers 37-28-5 (79)

Regular Season Series vs. Canes: 3-0

ROUND ROBIN RULES:
Regular overtime and shootout rules.

Phase TWO: June, (voluntary training camp) July for Training Camp (mandatory). Bettman stated SCF could wind up finishing by fall. So we have a long while to prepare. And I'm glad we have something to look forward for this summer.

Well, boys, we're back in the playoffs one way or another.

Would like to make a note from the OP....

The early June training camp is voluntary. The Formal training camp will be no earlier than the first half of July.

So... with no sports on MSG is going to broadcast every second of training camp with interviews and all kinds of good stuff, right? ...right?

A summer of hockey player interviews honestly sounds worse than a pandemic

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

You guys are a really good up and coming team. I think this has the makings of the best qualifying round match up. It will be interesting to see if our blue line can contain your high octane offense. Good luck but not too much and no injuries on either side.

These chumps dont stand a chance

Playoff drought is over! Extend DQ!

 

[bobbop]

Rangers in two!

Bravo

So we play the canes and whoever wins goes on to the caps or do they go on to this round robin thing for reseeding?

The round-robin seeding is separate from the play-in round. They will happen simultaneously, and then we'll face whoever ends up being the #3 seed after the round-robin.

 

[Kupo]

I want the Cup, and the 1st OA.

Right so is that only for the teams with the bye or does everyone play in the round robin after the play-in round

The #1-4 seeds who have the "bye" play in the round robin. The other 8 teams are in the play-in round.

I edited it into my response but too late for you to see, I guess. Whoops.

We literally cannot get the 1st OA pick and win the cup together

Chalk me up as someone who would have just preferred them putting the kibosh on the rest of 19-20. Seems as if focus should have shifted to making 20-21 happen as safely, quickly, and as soon as possible.

And maybe I’m just being a doof, but a cup win at this point would feel...cheap? Idk.

LETS GOO!!!!!!!!!!!!’nn

See, I’m not winning the cup. It’s not my accomplishment, so it’s really only between the players and lord Stanley how they feel about whether it’s cheap or not. For me, IF this can be done safely from a logistical standpoint, all it feels like is hockey for me to watch, and competitive hockey no less, which I will always have an appetite for. Yes, I’m with you, I’d have been okay with canning the season and I’m definitely interested in a successful 20-21, but whether or not there ends up being an asterisk next to this year’s cup winner or not really doesn’t matter to me. I still get to fill the hockey void in my life and watch teams battle for the Cup. I can’t complain.

why would it feel cheap when this season had more games played than the last 2 lockout seasons that a cup was awarded?

I don’t think the NHL plans to play 20-21 until at least some fans can attend. That’s likely not until December or January one way or the other, so this actually doesn’t have any impact on the start time of next season.

EDIT:

We aren’t playing in the Round Robin, we’re playing in the Qualifying Round. The Qualifying Round uses playoff overtime rules. Thread title needs changing.

Canes are gonna get Skjei'd.

I don't understand the title of this. This is the tweet to read:



We will play a best-of-five play-in against Carolina.

The top four teams in each conference play a round-robin to determine who is the official #1-#4 seeds.

The winners of the play-in series then play those top four seeds in the standard 1-vs-8, 2-vs-7, etc.-format we're used to.

That is my understanding.
