To resume the season, NHL applies a very original formula
The professional NHL ice hockey tournament stopped on March 12, the day after the NBA and on Tuesday, their “commissioner” Gary Bettman revealed a recovery plan.
The first important clarification: there is no day to improve and NHL simply talks about “the end of this summer” to resume the matches because in the best case, the “training camp” will start from day 1 to 15 July.
A rebound in two cities
NHL wants to resume in two cities. One city per conference and many cities have offered to host each, like Los Angeles, Chicago or even Vancouver and Toronto.
Interestingly, the tournament decided to disrupt its conventional system and continue with a new and original formula in form. Therefore, the recovery will affect only 24 of the 31 concessions, the best 12 teams in each conference at the end of the season. Seven franchises will not participate in the resumption of this season integrated into the publisher’s Lottery process for Draft 2020.
On ice, the first phase will be split between a Robin Robin Circle and Qualifying Circle. An unprecedented format that the NBA will also have in its boxes, and that will satisfy Damian Lillard and those who want a tournament for teams fighting for a place in the playoff round.
ROBIN ROUND
Two groups with four top teams from each conference at the end of the season to identify seeds 1 to 4 for each conference. Each team thus plays three games.
QUALITY ROUND
Teams are currently classified from 5th to 12th place in each competitive conference in a preliminary round to the playoffs with round 5 facing 12th, 6th vs 11th, etc. Best of five rounds to access playoffs.
Eight winners of the series (four per conference) qualify for playoffs
Classic format even if the duration of the first and semi-finals of the conference has not been determined. Then, the conference final and a Stanley Cup in the best seven matches.
LOTTERY
Fifteen franchisees will participate in the lottery to determine the order of selection for the Draft. It will involve seven non-participating teams at the end of the season, and eight teams will be disqualified. NHL offers a two-step online lottery program, based on the results of three draws.
If in the first phase, on June 26, the first three selections will belong to the qualifying teams. Then, it is necessary to wait for the second phase of the Lottery, to be conducted before the playoff round to know the identities of the teams.
Paul Coffey as one of the most promising NHL player in the world (Part 2)
Career at NHL
In the first round of the 1980 draft, a talented young man was selected by Canadian club Avon Oilers as number six. It is a mutually beneficial deal. Oilmen have built a new team and Paul Coffey fits ideally with the chosen game model of the Canadian club.
Already in his first season, Coffey confidently won a spot in the first team. You can’t call a bright first season – only 32 points scored in the regular championship, plus 7 points in play-off matches. But the second season at adult level allows us to reveal more fully about potential. Coffey scored 89 points, which is a great result for this defender.
Having played during Edmonton’s summer 7, Paul Coffey moved to Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Penguins, where he was lucky again with his partners. The penguins gathered around their star Mario Lemieux, a group of like-minded people, players, honed for their actions. This is exactly what Coffey has. He is not difficult to join the Pittsburgh team and win another Stanley Cup with this club.
The career ends
Having played five seasons for The Penguins of Pittsburgh, Paul Coffey moved to the Los Angeles Kings. As time has shown, this transition can be called a mistake. After the attacking style of Pittsburgh, it was hard for Coffey to change lanes to another game model.
In addition, injuries are beginning to affect, resulting in a loss of speed. Paul continues to be one of the tournament’s best defenders, despite the fact that its performance has dropped markedly.
Next is the trip to Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and finally to Boston. (Sauna Boston Bruins). Paul 39 years old due to numerous injuries did not achieve good results. In 18 matches, he only had 4 assists. The contract with Boston Bruins has been broken. At the age of forty, Coffey decided to end his professional career.
Achievements
For 20 years at NHL, Paul Coffey has established himself as a very versatile player. Speaking as a defender, where reliability is more valuable when playing in defending his own goals, Paul is still a very strong attacking player. Proof of this is scored 1531 points – the second number in NHL history among defenders.
Among his club accomplishments, four have won the Stanley Cup, in the Coffey national team three times becoming the owners of the Canadian Cup. Paul Coffey is a hockey player who received the James Norris Trophy award, being the best defender of the tournament three times at the end of the season. For outstanding accomplishments in 2004, Coffey was included in the Hockey Stadium.
