The NHL should do what that the show Survivor does...get each playoff team to pick a player to stand up on a tree stump in the middle of a cess pool/lake...instead of last man standing getting his team cheeseburgers and chocolate shakes...their team wins the Stanley Cup.

Everyone is being ridiculous. Viruses don’t just go away. Stay inside for months go ahead. Guess what the virus will still be around.
The chances of a vaccine coming out any time soon is not likely.
poop it down and open camp in Sept. ready to play a full season.

And one of the men has to be the team mascot.

Feel like Gritty is a shoo-in for the Conn Smythe!!!

Everything about the NHL ownership group like Mr. & Mrs. Pegula is the embodiment of class...dignity...and integrity.

Viruses don’t go away but the rest of the world figured out how to deal with it. The countries that are still (frank)ed: the US, Brazil, Russia, all tried to pretend it wasn’t a big problem and then that everything was all better too early. Even now most people refuse to wear masks and take responsibility. It’s hardly surprising that things are where they are.

Ek, have players been texting you about Matthews and expressing feelings of skittishness? Can you ask the players if they would feel comfortable wearing a face mask during the games? If not, what about just when they are on the bench? Does this mean players won't be allowed into empty arenas as spectators to increase the intensity?

P.S. You spelled his name Aston. You did that last week too.

No sports for the rest of this year and you can thank Trump for that for not giving a poop as he is too busy being racist and only caring about getting re-elected of which he is only kidding himself unless he cheats and lies his way in as he is good at that and even if some do start up they will probably only have to shut down again, not worth it“



Your an idiot maybe you should not watch tv for about a month. You’ll be a much better person for it.

But all the liberals out protesting and rioting and destroying everything is perfectly fine and nothing can spread that way right? Both sides are completely stupid. Don't act like one side is so great and the other is just awful. They both suck

Why would you put a mask over that sweet duster though?

The suckiness is different degrees. No doubt that I would have far preferred protestors (and the Police!) wear masks.

But lets have a run down of the differences.

1.
Protestors - disorganized, no unified command, spontaneous, so hard to implement any mask policy.
Trump rally: planned, centralized command, tremendous resources: could easily put forward a mandatory face-mask policy (even if people don't obey he could say he has done what he could, AND it sends a message). Better still, could have an event with no/limited spectators, like every major sports is planning.

2.
Protestors - doing what they are doing for a cause larger than themselves. No personal benefit whatsoever, quite the opposite.
Trump: choosing to do what he is doing in the way he is doing it for no reason other than for himself.

3.
Protestors - large numbers, but in the aggregate not in a single space, mostly scattered - across places, cities and moving in open air.
Trump: Indoor event, spectators crammed in same space, not moving. Trump must be aware* that there is now huge evidence that the virus is spread by super-spreader events (29 of the top 30 clusters in this country occurred due to a close-proximity gathering, the 30th was a cruise ship. The spread in Italy happened following a soccer match. The spread in South Korea happened after a church gathering).

*But then, Trump was shocked to learn that Finland was not a part of Russia two years after he had become President.

In summary:
non mask wearing peaceful protestors moral irresponsibility = shoplifting
Trump's non-mask wearing ra-ra rally: manslaughter.

Everybody except stone cold buffoons, whose central political motivation is their raging non-acceptance of their own buffoonery.

He is a dead ringer for the generic 70s porn star, though further relevant evidence is covered and not by a mask.

I came here this morning to see what Gaudreau was traded for. I guess there is more to come. Maybe a last minute offer from Toronto to replace Aston?

Ek is currently notifying the league office about the Gaudreau trade offers. Vegas is out of the running because Gaudreau's career will be in jeopardy with all the distractions. Ek just received a text from a woke Barclay Goodrow that he's being traded for Johnny Gaudreau. But you won't hear this publicly.
