Stop wasting time, go to the ICU and lick every surface.
Bring the family and make a day out of it.

...You're dancing in quicksand
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in
and you may never come back again.
This bog is thick and
easy to get lost in....

On to hockey ..

I don't understand why they're awarding free playoff spots for bottom teams and lottery picks
That's truly unfair ...

Should be the bottom 7 and that's it or have everyone in the playoffs it's a joke

(Maybe) my last words on the matter : Would the people that just don't give a #%$@ about spreading or catching Covid-19 please stop buying and hoarding all the Lysol and Clorox wipes and all the Purell ? Obviously, you don't care about the well-being of your families or others, so you won't be needing any of the wipes or hand sanitizer - so please stop buying it all up. That sh!t is still hard to find !

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Apparently, we will get a better idea this evening from Bettman.
I guess the are calling the 1st round of Play In as Return to Play not playoffs that enable the teams to fulfill their regular season TV contracts by getting the minimum number of games played.
So, now they won't have to issue refunds to those TV companies.
Two issues addressed there.

Those teams that lose the Play In Round qualify for the Lottery to bring it back to the 15 Team Lottery the have had for several years now.

IF THIS IS TRUE, then no team that plays for the SC can also win the Draft Lotto.
Kind of slick.

I haven't seen Lysol or Clorox wipes at Wegmans in months. Months ! Thankfully, my office gave me a couple of them when all this sh!t started but that's going to run out. Hopefully, those companies are still hard at work, working 24/7 producing more. And forget Amazon - they've been out of them for a long-ass time. Hand sanitizer has become more readily available - finally. Forget the name brands though - all I've been seeing is a Joe-Blows Hand Sanitizer kind of thing, which is hard to trust.

The draft lottery for the 2020 NHL draft will include the seven teams that didn't qualify for the 24-team playoff tournament + the eight teams eliminated in the qualifying round.

Don't really like this. It should be the bottom 7 for the first 7 picks and then the next 8 can have a lottery for 8-15.
A good team that otherwise would have clearly made the playoffs could lose in the play in round and win the lottery. Toronto, Pittsburgh, Calgary or Edmonton could be upset in this scenario and definitely aren't in need of a lottery win.
