NHL 2019-2020 Season Discussion: Anybody's Game

So sharks will be playing in an empty arena now?

Oilers gonna make playoffs for 2nd time in 14 years and they just gonna cancel it aren't they?

Kovalchuk has salary hits across 4 teams now this season, Caps - Montreal - LA Kings - Devils

Devils $250,000 (Recapture Penalty)
Kings $6,250,000 (As An Age 35+ Player)
Canadiens $350,000 (Retained Salary)
Washington - $350,000

Worst deal since yashin and teams are dumb enough to sign him. For a guy capable of 40 goals a season, he ends up in the minus zone almost every year. That is utter shit and not worth having.

Not surprising, but the season has been suspended.

one of the last bright spots in my sports day has now been taken from me as well.

fuck you, virus

I guess I was at the last Leafs game of the season.

Apparently teams were told to look into arena availability for July. Seems optimistic to think they'll be playing again within a month.

Blame @Corona

July is like 4 months away......

Cuckada's edumucation system.

I was more thinking of them finishing out the season and the playoffs finishing in July. Which would put everything a month behind..

this is my way of saving the ducks from further embarrassment

Ah ok.

I read someplace if this was the end of the season the Bruins get an asterisk SC “win”

That asterisk would be bigger than Brad Marchand's nose.

Still before the Canucks. *shrug

Why are the Canucks relevant?

 

[Gregolian]

Because I used to live in WA so fuck them

Colby Cave from the Oilers (also ex-Bruin) passed away yesterday from a brain bleed.

Really sad, he was only 25 too

NHL getting neutral-site playoff pitches from cities
Cities and venues across North America have reached out to the NHL to pitch themselves as potential hosts for neutral-site playoff games, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told ESPN on Friday.

"We do have people putting together the comprehensive laundry list of what we would need from facilities and evaluating some facilities on some level," Daly said. "But I can't tell you we've even finished creating a list [of potential sites], much less narrowed it down."


Among the reported possible locations for neutral-site games, which would likely be held in empty arenas, are Grand Forks, North Dakota; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. But Daly said the NHL hasn't even "created the field yet" in determining which sites would work.

Wherever the games are held, the NHL's stated objective if it is able to restart the 2019-20 campaign is to finish the regular season and hold a playoff tournament. The NHL paused its regular season March 12, with 189 games remaining in its regular-season schedule, because of the coronavirus pandemic. The regular season had been scheduled to end April 4, with the playoffs slated to start four days later.

While the league has explored playing games during its traditional offseason in July and August, it has also said the integrity of next season is essential to any decision it makes about the fate of this one.

Is that Raffi Torres? If so I'm sure he's doing weird CTE induced shit somewhere at this very moment.
