Gents,
Hope you're all safe during this wild time in our history. My condolences to the six of you that made the playoffs and now don't get to see how it all turns out. You all put a lot of work into building your teams for this season and you deserve closure, one way or the other. I hope that somehow the NHL regular season is resumed and we're able to complete the postseason.
Barring that, though, I have a proposal that could be fun. I would like to simulate the DHL Playoffs on NHL 20 and I'll stream it all on Twitch for you to watch. Here's how it would work.
1. Each of the six playoff teams submit a roster to me using their current rosters. Assume all players are healthy and post your roster for the following:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Line 4
D Pairing 1
D Pairing 2
D Pairing 3
Starting Goalie
Backup Goalie
PP 1
PP 2
4-man PP 1
4-man PP 2
PK 1
PK 2
PK Subban
3-man PK 1
3-man PK 2
2. Each of the six teams give me their preferred team from the following leagues which will serve as their team in the tournament (first come, first served!):
- NHL
- AHL
- ECHL
- SHL
- Liiga
- DEL
- Extraliga Ledniho Hokeje
- National League (not baseball)
- Erste Bank Eishockey Liga
- Champions Hockey League
- Hockeyallsvenskan
- International (pick a country and play as their national team)
- OHL
- QMJHL
- WHL
3. Once I have that for all six teams I'll build the six teams and simulate the playoffs based on our bracket. I'll do one matchup at a time, best of 7, and all games will be completely simulated - no human players at all to avoid bias. Home ice advantage will be given to the appropriate teams and I'll stop after each game to review the stats before continuing on with the simulation.
This is not to determine who the champion is but is a fun way to see what might have been. You can include players that may not be in the NHL if you'd like as long as they're on a team in one of the leagues listed above - so if you've got a sniper in juniors that might be better than your current fourth line forward maybe you bring up the Black Ace to see what he can do!
Please post your rosters here so I have one place to find them and if I have any questions I'll ask them here. You can of course ask me questions as well. My handle on Twitch is Hawkgirl007 so you can follow me there to be notified when each matchup goes live.
