Rangers coach David Quinn offers perspective to discussion of 'fairness' in NHL's return proposal

Not everyone was on board with the NHL’s return to play plan, which featured 24 teams coming back, split between two “hub sites’’ when the league restarts. The Carolina Hurricanes, who would be matched against their nemesis, the Rangers, in the best-of-five play-in series, voted against the proposal. Apparently, they didn’t think being forced to play a short series against an opponent that swept four games from them in the regular season, just for the right to enter the 16-team playoffs, was fair.

But Rangers coach David Quinn, asked on his weekly MSG TV appearance whether he thought the return to play plan was fair, refused to say, one way or the other.
