It’s not a 24 team tournament for the resumption of the regular season. The play in series actually only involve sixteen teams(5-12 seeds) and it serves as qualifying for a regular playoff of four rounds. A normal regular season is qualifying for playoffs. It’s not possible to finish the regular season, so the play in series are the next option. Players have to approve this, and they likely will. If the players don’t see this cup and tainted or whatever, why should hockey fans?
I don’t think you’re getting this.
