From a Mirtle article in the Athletic:

The best-case scenario here, according to several sources contacted by The Athletic late Wednesday night, would mean the shutdown lasts only three weeks and the NHL playoffs would begin essentially as scheduled in mid-April. Teams would be ranked by points percentage and given playoff berths as if the season had, in fact, ended on March 11 instead of April 4.

I do agree that is the best case scenario.

It doesn't make sense to close schools for kids as of yet. It would just make things more complicated for parents, especially those in healthcare. It's actually much better for them to be in school right now.
- lemieux_66


Disagree, it would make things more complicated if their kids get sick. Most parents just want their kids to be safe...

Athletic already did it for me:

Boston vs. Islanders
Tampa vs. Toronto
Washington vs. Carolina
Philly vs. Pittsburgh

St. Louis vs. Calgary
Vegas vs. Nashville
Colorado vs. Dallas
Edmonton vs. Vancouver

That's assuming they use they same formula for matchups.

There's some good matchups.

This is actually probably bad for the Leafs potentially too. It would mean that Stamkos could be back for the first round. Obviously this needs to be done though.

Do you think he could have gotten 8 goals in 12 games to break Vaive's record?
- PatC80


we know AM is capable of that, but not likely. im sure he has scored 8 in 12 a few times..but its a low prob.

that said, i think he eventually breaks it...if he ever gets another full season

if Canadian gov't would be rational, they'd close schools , elderly homes (for visits) and non - essential medical visits from this weekend on for 3 weeks or so.

lessons learnt from China, Italy and a few other countries if you don't run drastic checks from the early getgo (i.e. like Singapore), better of sitting it out.
of course lots of countries and regions are/will be too late and it will cost lives and lots of taxpayer's money.. (much more than it could have).

Travel ban. Should have from the beginning like Russia and Singapore. Most of the cases in Canada were flown in.

Statement
Statement from Premier Ford, Minister Elliott, and Minister Lecce on the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
March 12, 2020
TORONTO — Today Premier Doug Ford, Christine Elliott, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health and Stephen Lecce, Minister of Education, issued the following statement in response to the impact of COVID-19 on publicly funded schools as March Break approaches:
"The health and well-being of Ontarians is our government's number one priority.
Since we first learned of COVID-19 as an emerging public health issue, Ontario has been diligently monitoring the developing situation to protect the health and well-being of all Ontarians. We have also taken decisive action to ensure the province's health care system is positioned to be ready for any scenario.
Given the latest developments both internationally and here at home, today we are taking further action.
Based on advice from Dr. David Williams, Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health and the experts at the COVID-19 Command Table, the Minister of Education has issued a Ministerial Order to close all publicly funded schools in Ontario for two weeks following March break, in response to the emergence in Ontario of COVID-19. This order was approved by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.
This means that Ontario schools have been ordered to remain closed from March 14 through to April 5, 2020.
We recognize the significant impact this decision will have on families, students, schools, as well as the broader community, but this precaution is necessary to keep people safe.
Today's steps build on a number of actions our government has taken in recent days to respond to COVID-19, including moving forward with additional public health measures, which include enhanced access to screening, expanding lab-testing capacity, and implementing new initiatives to keep the public and frontline workers safe. We are further setting aside up to $100 million in contingency funding in the upcoming 2020 budget to address challenges related to COVID-19.
We are further mindful of those who work in other public institutions and buildings. As this situation evolves, Ontario's COVID-19 Command Table is prepared to respond quickly and effectively to any scenario and provide the government with advice on measures to keep the public and frontline workers safe.
We are committed to working with partners to keep students safe and we expect to provide further information in the near future.
Our public health system has demonstrated remarkable responsiveness to COVID-19 and these measures we are putting in place will ensure that we continue to contain the spread of COVID-19 in Ontario and thereby protect children and families across the province.
