The NHL has made it through the regular season, with the exception of a few more North (Canadian) Division games.
It was rocky at times and games were rescheduled (see North Division), but in the end it got done and fans enjoyed some exciting hockey during the pandemic.
Now, the hockey gets stepped up another level.
The playoffs are set to begin this weekend, and this particular postseason could be as fascinating and thrilling as any in recent memory.
Because divisions were realigned due to the COVID-19 pandemic to limit travel, all regular-season games were intra-division.
