We’re a week away from the start of one of the most fascinating seasons in NHL history. We’ve got one-time-only divisions where teams will only play each other, an old school playoff format, and a 56-game schedule, we hope. No All-Star Game, no bye weeks, and at least to start with, no fans in most of the buildings. How it’s all going to play out? I have no idea, and neither do you, and that’s what’s going to make it great. Or horrible. We’ll see.
It all makes for one of the most intriguing seasons in modern NHL history.
