Sure go for it. The pubs are open here so just need some hockey to watch. I also understand the huge financial implications for the league needing their yearly TV money paid out, especially with a 20/21 season including attendance still in doubt.
It would be nice if they could finish or at least complete some of the regular season so playoff seeding wouldn't rely on teams playing uneven and unbalanced games and there would be a warm up before the playoffs. I get why this is unpractical though and a play in series is a good compromise. Yeah a team like the Habs or Hawks now have a better chance at the Cup however there was always an opportunity for either one to end the season on an winning streak and do the same. My big concern would be teams unprepared for the early games creating some surprises, blow outs, and just bad hockey. Would be interesting anyways.
