Load management NHL era

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

This doesn’t seem to be an issue what so ever, why should something be done or teams penalized for only hurting themselves?

NBA teams can reasonably expect to rest starters and still win against bad teams. NHL teams have no such luxury.

I’m going to be up all night wondering when load management became a hot issue in the NHL.

Fair point, but if you’re comfortably in a playoff spot you should probably rest your stars. Teams don’t, but I do think it’ll become more common in the future. Chasing regular season records instead of resting worked so well for the Leafs last year.

Would Mark Stone = Kawhi Leonard?
Plays ~60% of regular season and dials it up to 11/10 come playoff time?

Not even close. Kawhi in his prime was a top 5 plater, Stone has never been that.

I dont see this as an issue. Caps aren't resting any of their top guys now that they clinched. playoff spot. When the Bruins and Bolts have historic regular seasons, they didn't rest any of their guys in the stretch run even tho they had locked in playoff spots months before.
