They're so desperate to start the playoffs on time, that they're willing to rush the schedule of a team that most likely won't make it...
Should have just cancel the season for Canucks... so many games now till end of season,, back to back every week and u expect the players will be healthy to play at a high level..
For someone who has it right now, theirs no way these players will be 100% I haven't seen the updated schedule but I'm guessing a lot of back to backs in a short period of time. Yeah theirs no point either bring guys from the minors or just call it they're not making it to the post season.The updated schedule is brutal for Vancouver. Also taking into account many players being bed-ridden recently, and the possibility of lingering fatigue from the virus for the players, it just seems like a needless risk. The Canucks aren't going to make the playoffs. Why not just call their season and focus on player health?
A bit of an over reaction, the league would figure something out, also not sure if you're aware but this season is already a circus.I have yet to see someone offer a practical way to make that happen. The Habs have already played their games against the 'Nucks and went 6-3. You gonna take those points away when they're in 4th? Edmonton and Calgary still have 5 games left against them. You gonna award them or deny them those points when Calgary is in 5th chasing Montreal?
And let's say you erase all of Vancouver's games from this season's schedule and either deduct or auto-award points to the remaining 6 teams, how do you seed the 2 teams that come out of the North against the rest of the league in the 3rd round?
It's impossible to address all of these problems. They have no choice but to finish Vancouver's season somehow or cancel the entire league. Or just have a complete circus I guess because that's what it would be if their season was canceled.
I'll take option 2.Two questions arise from due to deconditioned players in a compessed schedule:
1.) Does Vancouver go 0-19, or are they able to eek out some wins?
2.) Does Vancouver suffer any serious injuries?

calgary is so done, what an insane post
they have 3 games in hand over van and are only tied with them after almost a month of no play.
canucks have a better shot of making the playoffs then them
After the Sabres outbreak they went on to lose 18 straight games. Best of luck to the Canucks in this fake season.

Really? Ahaha 6 games in 6 days?
It's not baseball lol.
NHL is just a poor organization.
Players are cattle to the NHL, they don't give any f***s.
Is it true they have 8 games in 9 days?
