Yeah it will. Season is cancelled unfortunately I can’t imagine it happening.

Really ticked off Lou did not keep Lehner. We would still have difficulty scoring, but we would probably have at least 5 more wins.

Even in a simulation they couldn't win in regulation.

I wonder how the NHL handles this...i hope they just delay the season i would hate if they just skipped to the playoffs...alot of teams who are out could have made it in. Bubble teams that get hot at the right time

I would rather see them play in an empty arena than not at all.

I read the leafs are estimated to lose 42 mill because of games being cancelled..sham

The NHL has issued new directives to players: They are permitted to go home, to any country, and must stay in self-quarantine until the end of March once they get there.

This is a signficant change from NHL's previous to return-to-play plan. As part of this new directive, it sounds like the league hopes to re-open camps in late April.

With that timeline, we'll get Pelech and Cizikis back by the time they resume play.

Might not be a bad idea with the way Greiss and Varly have been playing.

Are we allowed to trade Varlamov for Lehner in the interim?

Special covid-19 trade protocols?

Have the people on long island gone insane and bought everything they can? Food shelves are empty if you need meat or butter, pasta, rice, eggs, bread or canned food

Yes of course they have. They go (frank)ing nuts when there’s a forecast with an inch of snow. I have been like a delivery boy for my buddies with kids.

I went to two different supermarkets last night. The meat shelves in one were literally cleaned out of everything except ground lamb. Not a single bread product in either. Most of the boxed pasta was cleaned out, but one of them had plenty of fresh pasta. Paper goods are obviously scorched earth too.

I'm kind of upset I didn't buy the ground lamb to make some shepherd's pie for St. Patty's

We need to start a rumor that all toilet paper is infected with the virus so people will stop buying it all. This is insane and the media is making it so much worse.

Wonder if Soroikyn will be available if things resume

KHL suspended their playoffs until April 10th, so I doubt it. Unless the NHL season really drags out somehow, but I don't think that one is gonna happen. CSKA was in tje 2nd round, and hadn't yet played a game in that round, when things got cancelled.

I think people believe that we're going to be quarantined in our house and not allowed to leave, for some reason. Even if there is some sort of mandatory quarantine, I am sure people will be allowed to leave for essential functions like going grocery shopping or getting healthcare/gas/etc...
