This is unrealistic, they should be in training camp in late September. If they don't restart soon, this season or next will have to be shortened.

the most games played by any team is 71. so all other teams play to get 71 gp'd then start the playoffs as normal...


what is all this fuckery with the schedule? I understand wanting to finish the season but not at a september scf and reg season to stat in nov with a condensed schedule....the players would be too tired and the hockey would be garbage (IMO)
