i have a hard time casting blame around given how slow new york was to be as locked down as we became and how anxious so many appear to be to get back to spitting on each other based on what the bars* look like

not an IMPOSSIBLE time just a hard time

the way things are now there is a chance the nHL season doesnt even start until Jan at this rate.. he could come back play the season and still play half a season of Pro after that.

The way things are now we may well not have a season next year.::cry::

The northeast is getting better, but much of the rest of the US is getting worse and not doing the things to get it under control.

There's only a couple of months before students should be coming back.

With CU being a university with students from all over, they'll have to look at what's happening everywhere before bringing students back to campus.

Needless to say I'm not optimistic. Damn virus, damn Georgia, damn Arizona, ...

And damn the buffoon who's encouraging those states' behavior.

I thought the rule was No Politics on the forum. So:
If "buffoon" is Potus, somebody broke the rules.
If "buffoon" is our athletic director and fellow alumnus, that falls under fair comment.
I think that's how it works.

My state (South Dakota) has taken the fewest protective measures of any state. We never shut down.

Yet, we're still opening up.

So little population density —800,000 people in an area 1.6 times the size of NYS

#nopolitics means you can call people who risk death for hockey morons, but you can't call people who risk death for FREEDUMB morons.

So... uh... the first one.

On an unrelated note, Bangladesh has 160million people in a country slightly larger than South Dakota. I always have trouble wrapping my mind around that.

And half of that area is underwater for large chunks of the year.

With the newly negotiated CBA, a player who signs by July 15 (this Wednesday) will have this season count toward his free agency clock regarding service, even though that player will not be eligible for the playoffs.  I expect we may see a few players who have hesitated jump at this opportunity.

Professional hockey becomes a whole lot less profitable with no revenue from the gates. Even if they opened the gates now and packed them in the crowds would evaporate in a couple of weeks. Money is the beginning and end of the pro hockey business, just like every other professional sport. Professional sports owners are in the same bind as American politicians. Lets hope the sports owners deal with coronavirus better than incumbent American politicians. That shouldn't be too hard.

I watched the game today expecting to hear his name.  And this was before I read that he signed.

Oh well.
