It would be awesome if the Oilers in a rare season are close to the playoffs and the season is cancelled out due to Corona Virus. Their lucky fluky season ends and next year they go back to what they should be a 80 point team.

Might as well go full Expos in that case.
Return to futility and relocate the franchise a decade later.

They're not going to cancel the games. Sponsors have paid money for those ads, and if public events start getting canceled and people stay home, they'll want something to watch on TV.

Could they not still play the games in an empty stadium? At least then we could watch on TV?
Sorry if this has already been discussed I glazed over a lot of this thread.

Yeah that's what's mostly been going on in the world, playing in empty stadiums. There's really no benefit to completely canceling the games.

An x-factor is if it starts to go through a team. I'm not sure how that would be handled.

Possibility of the first playoff BOA in almost 30 years... and nobody in the stands to watch it

If there's no fans do the owners want to pony up the cash to make this happen? Do the players want to play for a Stanley Cup if there's no fans? I see the playoffs just getting completely cancelled at that point.

Somebody better get started on life-like robotic surrogates that we can operate through a VR experience from our recliners.
Also cue epic massive fist fights breaking out between said Oiler and Flame surrogates.
Could be even more fun.

So if one or two rounds in, we're at the point of fans no longer being able to attend games due to health concerns, do you then tentatively postpone the remainder of the playoffs in the fall, and begin a partial regular season around December?
Cause what's the point for owners if no one is attending your playoff games? At the same time you can't just abort the 19-20 season and the work teams have done to get to where they have.

If the playoffs are cancelled does every team get entered into the draft lottery?

I would way rather the playoffs get cancelled than play without attendance.

At least it won't affect the Panthers too much.

All I can get

Flames cancel all interactive fan experiences (i.e. autograph sessions). Probably all the various charity initiatives as well.
