As a mostly casual viewer, a 24-team tourney sounds fun as hell. Must watch TV

man that ice in zona though...gonna be ****
The ice will be bad because of all the games they need to play, not because of the weather. It's the humidity more than the heat that makes the conditions bad. Not having fans and the arena doors open will help a ton. Once they get deeper in the playoffs the ice will be just fine no matter where they choose.
This lottery has the potential for some real shenanigans though. Hopefully all 3 lotto winners come from the teams in the bottom 7 or you're gonna have team execs/fans rooting for their teams to lose the play in round. Watch Edmonton or Pitt fall *** backwards into Lafreniere.

I'd hope the NHL would have better ice crews than your local beer league rink.

Ovechkin, Pastrnak among season award winners
Since the NHL is planning to go straight to the playoffs, it's handing out a handful of trophies for the regular season cut short by the coronavirus pandemic.
So no Hart, Norris etc. voted on awards this year?

One of PIT/EDM/CHI is gonna get #1. I think it's rigged until proven otherwise. Don't know why they don't just go for full transparency and show the balls being drawn. The second they announced this format I thought #1 would be a play-in team to generate buzz and another TV event.

the fact that the play-in teams total odds were 24%, so basically any playoff/qualifier team had a 1 in 4 chance at the top pick, is BS. Those odds should’ve been way lower.
r/hockey is going mad Detroit fans are pissed
rightfully so

If Edmonton wins, it will be 5 first overall picks in 10 11 years.
The absolute ineptitude.
