There is no asterisk on the cup. Nobody is going to care. Just like noone points out the last shorten season cup winner. I think it was Chicago and they are just referred to as 3 time winners.

So i agree with you.

Shockingly, Damien Cox thinks it wasn’t as hard.

Barclay Goodrow tells him to (frank) off.

Yeah, and I would say the mental toll playing in a bubble for that long vs. the physical toll with no break to rest/heal is pretty much a wash.

I imagine the NHL is watching this closely ...

At the Super Cup in Budapest last week, UEFA successfully tested COVID-19 crowd-control technology that could pave the way for the return of fans at international games next month. Twenty-two thermal scanning lines automatically checked the temperature of all 15,500 spectators at the Puskas Arena where Bayern Munich overcame Sevilla in extra time on Thursday. The system also automatically checked the wearing of masks, reducing the need for extra stewards and avoiding queues.

Which would be great if only people with temperatures spread the virus. Things like that I guess could make people feel better.

There aren’t really any feasible options that don’t require first getting virus case numbers down a lot.

This Cup wasn’t as hard because no travel.

Guy is such a twat. He blocked me years ago because I called him glitter dome, which is hilarious, because I'm as bald as he is.

He is definitely part of the problem of entitled washed-up hack media personalities still finding employment for some reason. Him and Simmons, two of a kind.

There definitely would have been asterisks on it had the Leafs won the Cup.

Cox has always been a contrarian curmudgeon.

Simmons has always been a wienerhead.

Can't stand either of them.

Not as difficult to win a Cup when there’s no road games, no travel. Still a difficult thing to win it all. Tampa gave lots of sweat and blood to make this happen. But let’s not compare bubble hockey with the real thing.

good luck with separating the hooligans without masks and/or with a fever though

What a tool.

This cup is just as legitimate as any other. Hell, being isolated from your family must have made it harder for some.

Frank Seravelli wrote the exact opposite in an article on TSN.

It's James Tanneresque.

But we are all talking about him so he gets what he truly wants.

Oddly, the whole tournament is a road game.

Trades will happen everyday until the 8th of October. Might be small like pirri but will happen.
