The fog that is Covid-19 is starting to lift and things are slowly starting to return to normal. Although the pandemic situation continues to evolve, the sun is starting to shine through the clouds on news that the NHL is starting to resume activities. Yesterday, the NHL confirmed what has been speculated over the last few weeks; the NHL will resume play, with a 24 team playoff.
Assuredly, most, if not all of our loyal readers, are familiar with the proposed plan. The NHL will start with a play-in round for the 9th to 24th ranked teams with teams 1 through 8 playing a round-robin style tournament to determine seeding for each of the conferences' top 4 teams.
