No problem quote whomever you like. Just my opinion that CNN isn't the most reliable.

Go watch CNN for 15 minutes and you will also believe end days are here.

You obviously did not watch it, he literally is talking through info graphics from the CDC in order to make it more relatable to the common person.

for the best. too many people who didn't take public health seriously. I noticed a guy in the other thread who was boasting about his extended travel in recent months who was still going to attend the game tonight.
you have a few hundred people like that in the arena mixed in with the other 19000 people...
not worth the risk.

So. My guess is the players forfeit their salary for the rest of the season? Does that get channeled into escrow somehow? Might that lead to a decently inflated salary cap in the near future?

Good time to catch up on your netflix and Amazon shows. learn a new skill like sock puppetry or wood working.
Take the money that you saved from not going games to buy a vintage table hockey game and hold a one man tournament.

Do yourself a favour & act & think like an adult who can consciously discern valid information no matter the source without devolving into oversimplified wilfully ignorant rhetoric.
Seriously.

any guesses on the drop dead date to resume this season?
There were ~3 months remaining until the end of the Stanley Cup. I can't imagine they end the pause any later than mid-April, and resume the normal schedule. If they have a severely condensed schedule, like best of 3 or best of 5 in the playoffs, they might extend the drop dead date to May. Could they play into August? I'm assuming the season is over

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but in regards to the suspended season directly affecting the Flames, if the NHL were to resume again and the Playoffs go into July/August, that gives Valimaki much more time to heal and get back into game shape, which would then put the Flames in a tough position in terms of deciding whether to play him for potentially just a few games and making him another player they'd need to protect for the expansion draft, or keeping him out even though he might be fully healed by that point.

Yeah, suspended is better than cancelled, but this is probably just suspended until cancelled. The best I hope for at this point is going direct to an abbreviated playoffs with shorter series and some team gets the cup in the summer. There will be a lot of pressure to salvage some earnings, but we're probably a ways off this being under control enough to return to play.
Going best of 3 could finish off playoffs in a month.

I analyze this virus very carefully as I am one of the high risk class with severe lung disease and a compromised immune system. I just don't trust anything from CNN. thank you very much.
And maybe respond in an adult manner before lecturing.

I guess they say suspension but I cannot see sports this year at all and probably next.

Apologies if this has already been said. But to your point, there is no stopping it. End game is to slow the speed of infection and "smooth" out the infection curve over a longer period of time, so that the health care systems do not become overwhelmed by it all hitting at once (Italy scenario) which in the end will save more lives because more people who end up needing treatment will be able to get it.
