Yeah, I’m not optimistic that the playoffs will happen. If I had to guess they’ll call off the season tomorrow.
Having said that, on the off chance they happen, I’d be surprised if the NHL used anything other that points. I think teams line Calgary could rightfully argue that it’s not fair they had to play extra games and the other teams could have easily lost their games at hand. I don’t think there’s any precedent in the league to use the percentages as a deciding factor.
It does suck that the one year we might see a Battle of Alberta is the one year the league likely cancels.
