Having sat through the Titans playing in an empty building for years even though we were addicted to the team it was like sitting in a morgue. I personally just don't think you can generate the energy in an empty building regardless of who's on the ice, but that's just me The NFL draft was a peak inside the players homes etc. I guess for some that was intriguing. I kind of understand that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure later today instead of wisely following suit, the NHL will propose a 31 team playoff contested in Idaho and Montana on outdoor rinks located on the property of Yellowstone National Park, with the players and staff quarantined in log cabins located on a deserted Indian reservation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't jump past a certain point? This just reeks of the league trying to help Detroit, much like they helped the Penguins with Crosby.. It just de-legitimizes the whole thing for me a bit. The NHL could at least TRY to hide the fact that they're helping the Red Wings out big time. Detroit is really, really bad so if there's a team that the NHL should be helping out, it's them. It's much better than a system that gives a really good team the opportunity to jump all the way to number 1. This system also benefits the Devils.

This is accurate, except that it's also going to be roller hockey. That way they can play all summer without worrying about that pesky ice.

The typical rich arguing over money missing the big picture of the pain and suffering most normal folks are going through. One clowns opinion and man is he getting roasted for it.

I skimmed through the article, but I imagine that something like this would be adopted at other places too.... specifically amusement parks - I can see it now, you're waiting on line to ride the Teacups, and you get misted with disinfectant. Or you're shopping at Home Depot and after the plants in the garden center get watered, passersby get hit with disinfectant. I don't know if I like the world we're living in anymore. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I am not sure what you folks are reading, but my interpretation is it would be used to sanitize an EMPTY arena before/after an event, not to drop sanitizer on everyone during the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly only read the first 1-2 paragraphs. However I like the image in my mind of them dropping disinfectant on families during intermissions.

Daniel Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Just cancel the season. Hold the draft in mid-June with a maximum four spot lottery move up and binding arbitration for any conditional picks the teams can’t work out on their own. Work out salary cap issues with the PA and schedule free agency for no later than mid-July. Spend all efforts after that to get next season started on time or relatively close to on time where fans can be present. If certain teams need to be moved out of high risk areas to play their home games, including the Devils, make the plans for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
