NHL Regular Season Over. Playoffs Through The Summer
National Hockey League's commissioner, Gary Bettman, announced plans to resume the season this year yesterday.
First of all, Bettman declared the 2019/20 regular season is over.
In a modified format, the league is going straight to the playoffs with 12 teams from the Eastern and Western Conference.
There's a round-robin, a best-of-five and best-of-seven series in this format.
Honestly, I think this is a joke, especially that the Montreal Canadiens are amongst the 24 teams.
The Habs. were on the brink of missing the playoffs when the season was halted.
This is not set in stone, though.
Bettman said this is going to take place if health officials feels that it is safe.
Training camp is scheduled to start on July 1.
That means playoffs going to take place in the summer months.
