Former Bucs RB Michael Pittman is asking for prayers right now. With his blessing, I am posting that a family member of his contracted the coronavirus, has been in the hospital since last Thursday and is now in a coma and in critical condition. He said they need a miracle.

such sadness

This really blows. The worst part is it maybe a year or years before it’s over.

I wonder if they'll come up with a system (getting to an equal number of games played) to just hold the playoffs, rather than finish the remaining 12-15 games of the season for each team.

I feel like they will have a conclusion to this season--I don't think it will just be lost. But what that looks like is anyone's guess right now. It seems like the entire system has spun out of control for the moment.

You know what's funny? If they cut the season and just rolled into the playoffs based on points percentage, our last game determined our first round opponent.

If we beat the Leafs in regulation last game, the Panthers would have had a higher points %. Since we lost, the Leafs would win out. I'm not sure they would just do percentage without having all teams play to the same number of games (there would be a LOT of complaints), but it's interesting.

Helps us a lot if it delays the season cause we get time for injuries to heal, hurts us a lot if the season is lost because this is the deepest Tampa has ever been and we have big cuts to make next year - the salary cap may even go down due to this.

It seems hardly significant on a day like this but part of what the NHL and NHLPA have to deal with moving forward is determining the longer-term financial impact of these decisions. Just a week ago, the NHL announced a bullish salary cap projection of between $84 to $88.2 million for next season, a jump from the current $81.5 million cap.

Well, who knows now? Any significant hit to hockey-related revenue for the rest of the season will have a direct impact on the salary cap. But I will point out one important fact, regardless of the rules in the CBA governing the formula calculating HRR and the salary cap, the NHL and NHLPA can throw that out the window and agree to an artificial cap figure for next season in the case of an emergency like this. As long as both sides feel it’s the best course of action, they can do that, a source confirmed Wednesday. So you can forget a salary cap dropping by millions for next season and throwing teams into roster Armageddon. The league and NHLPA won’t let that happen, although with any course the union will be mindful at the same time of not putting its players in a crazy escrow situation, either.

ya if dont finish the year now i think the cap just took a BIG hit maybe players would do the 5 percent otherwise could see same exact as last year ....

i still feel we will have a full stanley cup run .... colleges need to handle things differently then pro sports they should be canceling even though that SUCKS imho ... its what id want to happen for my kid i allowed into a program.... but pros are full adults i hopefully had their butts outta house for awhile lol so them suspending again is right thing i just stay away if when league starts back for my own safety

No, just like not being indoors. Being outside was previously known for being the place you had to deal with travelling between your dwelling and various rinks.

God damn it now Cooper is going to get another year!

this made me laugh

 

[Vasilevskiy]

This was inevitable and for the better, give it a couple months things will be better, I presume for the second half of may things will resume, meanwhile hope it doesn't spread too much and health system doesn't collapse

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Can we still do playoff avatars?

Canadians couldn’t stand the thought of being without hockey I guess.

Jokes aside it could take up to a year to get the vaccine out to the public.

They jumped on that quick. NO ONE gets in the way of hockey in Canada!

Every lab is trying to get government grants for developing some kind of vaccine or cure.

He also added that as they are now a few weeks away from finishing research stages, he is positive the vaccine will work.

Not tested.

I'm curious to see what happens before the cure comes out...

I'm trying to wrap my head around how and when they'd finish the season and still have the normal July 1st routine and the draft.... it ain't looking pretty. They're gonna have to lose games for sure and have to condense the hell out of the playoff schedule with very few off days in between games and series if they want to keep the draft and July 1st as normal. Not unless they're okay with pushing back the draft and free agency to compensate. In which case, what the hell.


In any measure this probably lasts 30 days
