Word is that the NHL will make an announcement regarding the rest of the season later today. Odds are that just like the NBA and MLS, they'll suspend the rest of the season. There not much left of the regular season left, The fact the playoff normally would start next month. Sucks more so for any team so close to being in or out. I get maybe no fans as much I would hate it as a season ticket package owner. I think a little much to not play out the games. They may do empty arena games until everyone has the same number of games played, then end the reg season early and start the playoffs whenever safe to go.

Depends on long that is, could effect how many rounds they do or changing it to best of 5 instead of 7 per round. If it takes a couple months to become safe. The finals would be like right when the teams would start training camp and ext. I mean normally 3 months window from the last SC finals game if it goes to seven games. They may have to go best of 5 and ext. Depending on the delay.

Looking like a season that ends closer to July or August and then pushes back next season's start to November or December.

While no official announcement made yet, reports are sounding like the they are following suite.

Yeah, the hockey board I frequent is pretty dead set on the season being cancelled or postponed and the playoffs starting whenever it starts back up, which is anyone's guess at this point. Next season could end up like 2012 or whenever the work stoppage was. Only instead of a 42 game season, it qould be like 60 or 62. The playoffs are such a grind, it would be terribly hard to ask a team to go through that and then have an 8-week turnaround to the start of the regular season. I mean, we actually won it and our off-season seemed mad short in comparison. Imagine how it would have been if the pre-season started in August.

As a Red Wings fan the season was suspended 3 days in. Yeah, it was over after the 5th game of the season.

As a Sharks fan, we have 0 Cups, the league record for losses in a season, blowing a 3-0 lead in the playoffs to our archrivals, and the only good thing about this season WAS the cancellation so we don't officially go down in the record books as missing the playoffs.

Hopefully Yzerman is a good GM or this may really suck for a long time... Not sure the team ever truly recovered from losing Lidstrom as a ton of dudes bolted after that and when guys like Parise and Suter chose to play for Minnesota instead it really set in motion where this team is now. Before that the Red Wings had never been spurned by FA's, guys always wanted to play there.

The ECHL season has been cancelled.
Which sucks, because I wanted to go to an Indy Fuel playoff game.

The Swedish leagues have been cancelled. No playoffs, relegations or promotions.

If I were the NHL, should it resume, end the regular season, there is NO POINT in resuming the regular season, just go straight to the playoffs

Seeds 7 and 10 and 8 and 9 play each other in a three game series for the wild card spots. Winners of those move on to the regular playoff format.

Finnish Jokerit pulled out of KHL playoffs because of corona (and because Finland going into a full lockdown). Dynamo Moscow's head coach demanded them to be thrown out of the league because finding a champion for the league is most important thing right now. Straight up Soviet mindset.

The Bruins had to be shamed into paying their game day employees. They were the last NHL team to do so.
