There are still some diehard optimists on this site, like Stevie Y, who still think the season can be salvaged. Just, for one moment, imagine it happens.
Really, Lord Stanley's cup would be up for grabs. A 6 week season means any team that has one hot streak makes the playoffs. Just what hockey needs - a Nashville/Atlanta final!
Seriously, would you care if your franchise won the cup this year....maybe a little, but I'd seriously be looking at the draft as the big prize. So, I'd call my players who effed off to Europe and tell them to stay there for the remainder of the season, and call up a few players from the AHL, IHL, UHL....where ever, put blindfolds on them and tell them to give it their all!
In my dreamworld, June 25th would be the greatest day in Canadiens (or insert your favourite tanked team here) history since 1993, as Bob Gainey announces: "With the first overall pick, the Montreal Canadiens select, from Cole Harbour, NS, the Rimouski Oceanic's Sidney Crosby!"
The point to all this is that a season at this stage in the game would undoubtedly in my mind turn into one ugly affair, with each team trying to outworst the other....except maybe the Leafs, who would gladly drink from a tainted cup...sorry...haven't done any Leaf bashing all season!
