If the season is canceled with the remaining teams we could do best of 3 odds or evens or pick a number from 1-10 closest wins (again 2 out of 3)


I see them back on the ice in 2 weeks

I think the options presented by PPG and Pigsrule are good and address the situations well.
Also, I'm in agreement with Blkhwkfn regarding draft order for the remaining teams. Perhaps a evenly weighted lottery for the remaining 8 teams since they could've ended up in any order. All that only if the season is cancelled and there is no ability to hold an FNHL playoffs.

Perhaps a far laying suggestion to complete the FNHL playoffs for results but no money is to sim the games on a console like PS4 or XBox. I was in a fantasy league that used the commissioner's PS4 to sim the games. We all agreed to do so and treated the season like the NFL with games played on Saturdays, then owners would plan lineups and player moves during the rest of the week leading up to Saturday.

Just an idea I'm throwing out there. Needs to be fleshed out of course if there's interest.

I heard about this idea before from other owners.

From an administration standpoint, there is no sure fire way to ensure objectivity other than the reputation of the person setting lines and running the simulation.

Then the level of manual entry to load the right players onto the right teams is labor intensive.

However, making it a results-only-without-payout endeavour could ensure the integrity of the results.

Again, it seems labor intensive but if someone wants to take on that task, it could be fun and interesting.

I could run a simulation this weekend or next week sometime and get back to you with how easy or difficult it is to run the sim for 4 matchups involving 8 teams. I could do 1 matchup then multiple the time involved in setup times 4 to determine an estimate of overall work effort to sim Round 2 of the FNHL playoffs.

I don’t see the NHL resuming in 2 weeks. I think the earliest is mid-May to give this COVID-19 virus a good 2 mths settle and get under control... that would also be enough time to reconfig schedule and secure venue availability. It’s going to be a real scheduling headache for everyone in real life.

I think even if the NHL resumes operation in mid-May, there will probably be some form of training camp to get players game-ready.

That would mean early June to resume play. 3 weeks remained in the regular season puts NHL regular season ending in the last week of June.

Then add 2 months of playoffs and the 2019-20 NHL crowns a champ in mid-late August. That's do-able!

We have a shot at saving the season.

This is an open discussion thread to talk about the impact of the NHL season currently put on hold.

To get the discussion going, here are some possible outcomes given possible NHL decisions re 2019-20 NHL season:

1) NHL pauses regular season and resumes regular play per existing matches —- RECOMMENDATION: FNHL to resume FNHL playoffs with updated calendar dates.

2) If the NHL decides to cancel the remainder of the season... RECOMMENDATION: FNHL will keep FNHL regular season results, cancel FNHL playoffs & carry over 2019-20 prize pool to 2020-21 FNHL; FNHL draft contingent on NHL holding a draft with weighted lottery to determine draft position for the 8 remaining playoff teams.

3) If NHL decides to eliminate the remainder of its regular season and begin NHL playoffs when play resumes, FNHL playoffs will be cancelled and prize pool carried over to 2020-21 season.

The points above are for discussion and not firm decisions.
Please feel free to post your thoughts.
:iatp::iatp::iatp: Good plan boys! I like it.

I agree with others who say the NHL will likely start up again in May sometime.
You have to imagine the NHL as a major entertainment business entity wants to recoup $$ after this pause and avoid losing millions in revenue.

In the spirit of fun, perhaps I can see whether I can get access to a gaming console and sim a matchup. Kind of a prediction for the actual matchup. I would play NHL04 on a PC way back in the day. Great fun. I don't think it was easy to select specific players because you could only get specific players via draft or in trades. To do that for 2 teams might take just a little patience.

A well-conditioned team wins in the first ten minutes, maybe less. The opponent is destroyed not just on the scoreboard but their will is broken when an opponent comes out hard and fast.

There's chatter that the NHL could let all teams end the "regular season" with 71 games played and start the Playoffs immediately.

If that scenario plays out, our FNHL playoffs would not work.

Perhaps a suggestion would be to repurpose the remainder of the 2019-20 FNHL playoffs and plug it into the start of the 2020-21 NHL season's schedule. Just a suggestion.

  • indiansnation: Giants To Sign Blake Snell March 18th, 2024 at 8:45pm CST • By Anthony Franco 8:45pm: Snell receives a $15MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $17MM signing bonus that will not be paid until 2026, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (on X). That indicates he’ll be deciding on whether to opt out of a $30MM salary next winter, although the delayed date on the payment of the bonus reduces the team’s short-term commitment.  8:23pm: Blake Snell is in agreement with the Giants on a two-year, $62MM contract that allows him to opt out after the upcoming season, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post (X link). San Francisco adds the defending NL Cy Young winner to the top of a staff that also includes last year’s runner-up, Logan Webb.  ADVERTISEMENT
