Dan Wallace: 24 Team Format Has Wild vs Canucks

What are your thoughts on the matchup. Considering both teams come in healthy. Canucks will have Markstrom, Leivo, Boeser, Sutter, Edler, all healthy and rested.

I honestly don't care, this season will be an asterisk no matter what way you slice it... I just want to see some hockey again... Obviously would love to see the Wild win this series, but just having hockey to watch again is the real bonus in my mind.

Mmmmmmm, hockey....

I don’t think there would be asterisk on the season. Honestly I think it’s harder to win this year than previous normal seasons. All teams are healthy and all teams are on a level playing field. Also does that mean next season will have an asterisk because it will start late? And maybe the season after that as well? No. It’s the new normal for now and teams will have to adapt and the winner will still be a cup champion

So i guess a season in which the regular season ended 3 weeks early with no games played for 2 months and a new temporary playoff format for 24 teams instead of 16 which is starting in June doesn't warrant an "asterisk"???

Ok.

It’s definitely a unique season but not an asterisk, you still have to WIN, nobody is cheating nobody has an advantage over another team it’s a level playing field for all
