Yeah, sounds possible, although I'm thinking it's more likely they just cancel the games and go by points percentage.
Theoretically speaking, I'm sure the Canucks could scrounge up enough warm bodies to call it a hockey team. Would probably make for some good human interest stories, guys getting to live out their NHL dream... In a way.
Pretty sure they're not actually planning that, unless there's a really compelling contractual situation with sponsors or TV which forces them to play the games.
As for the players not all following protocol in their free time, it's just human. It's been a long time, people get tired. Young people tend to think they're immortal anyway. It's stupid stuff, but very human.
