One of the best ways to end it, IMO.
Play of the year.

I believe in the Jays.

That's going to be one bigass escrow hit the players take if the season ends up cancelled.

Sorry to hear it but not surprised. Been said but I also think this is going to disrupt life for a lot longer than a few weeks. Any of the public gathering/lockdown measures end and people start circulating and it is likely to just flare up again until a vaccine is ready. Probably going to be a low key few months with people allowed to shop and do necessities but everything else on hold.
I know it's not been confirmed but hard not to think that some turd hadn't been selling bat meat at a backalley market has the world on the brink of a recession.
Figure this season is a write off if I am guessing. Will be a ton of complexities to deal with. Draft and lottery, salary cap, even expansion draft eligibility for guys under the 10 games.

Dammit, tonight's game was one of the very few I am able to get to in a season, and I was really looking forward to it. >.<

Maybe Gary and his Owner buddies can use this time to chat with the NHLPA about avoiding a lockout over the future CBA

At this point I think the end-game is just to buy time to learn exactly how deadly + contagious this really is, and ramp up our testing + treatment capacity. For example South Korea has an insanely comprehensive testing regime and has tested more people than any other country, and so far their fatality rate is at 0.7%. Hopefully other countries can follow suit and in a month or so we can start rolling back countermeasures, but right now the reality is nobody knows exactly how bad it is.

Smart move. Absolutely no way they could justify playing after a player who shares 10 stadiums with the NHL got it, especially knowing how careless that player was.

But will Tre make changes this summer if he thinks this group didn't get a chance to test themselves in the playoffs?

No one is playing anything. Just asking questions worth asking. It doesn't mean I am trying to judge or play detective.

I think we can quote whoever we want, and the content will stand on its own merit if it is accurate.

This is why Edmonton cannot be good.
It's bad for the world.

I'm going to regret this, but please enlighten us on CNN's agenda regarding this topic.

The health, safety and well-being of our fans, staff and players remain the most important priority of Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation. CSEC is in full support of the National Hockey League's decision to pause the 2019-20 season due to COVID - 19.
As a result of this decision, the Flames home game this evening versus the New York Islanders and Saturday versus the Winnipeg Jets will not take place as originally scheduled. In addition, the National Lacrosse League game scheduled for this weekend at the Scotiabank Saddledome is suspended.
We are currently working on answers to frequently asked questions from our various stakeholders and it is our intention to communicate on a regular basis as this situation is fluid.
As with the NHL, we are hopeful to resume the season and playoffs when appropriate and prudent.

He is quoting the CDC.
Basically every health authority is saying the same thing about social distancing and flattening the curve, so what does CNN's agenda have to do with the message?
