Could still do quadruple headers.degenerasian wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 3:15 pmExcept that hockey players and hockey fans really hate afternoon games. I've never figured out why, just habit I think.
Sportsnet often tries to sneak in a Saturday triple header and the afternoon game gets horrible ratings. And for playoffs, teams don't play back to back. This is probably the first time in 20 years.

I wonder what kind of offseason clause he has in his contract. Hope he's OK, but selfishly, it really bugs me when pro athletes do stupid shit like this in the offseason.wlu_lax6 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 12:03 pm So the reason the Caps don't have Samsonov backing up Holtby....ATV accident in mother Russia. Apparently messed up his neck and back pretty seriously. Caps are not allowed to disclosure it but guessing they are very unhappy. Especially since everyone expected him to be the #1 next year due to Holtby's well deserved salary won't work for the Caps cap.

Scary looking injury to Jake Muzzin. Could be a neck or head injury. They're wheeling him off on a stretcher.

Very scary. On a somewhat positive note, he did move his hands and his legs while they were being extra cautious around his neck

Yeah, I didn't see the hit/injury happpen, but definitely noticed him moving his hands on his own. It looked like he was flexing his feet as well, but that was harder to tell if it was him, or the trainers moving them. Scary. 15 minute or so delay. Really took them a long time to get that back board put together.degenerasian wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 5:48 pmVery scary.

How can NBCSN be so good with EPL coverage and so bad with NHL coverage?

Now the Jets D-man Poolman just blocked a shot with his teeth. Long delay as they scrape the blood off the ice.

Because I’m now a miserable adult, if you said either NYR wins the lottery and signs DeAngelo for 6 years or they don’t win and trade him, I pick the latter without a second thought.

Not sure I feel strongly either way there. I'd rather he went to a Eastern team for starters, but it being Toronto or Pittsburgh would still chap me.
ETA: At least the Rangers really wouldn't have made the playoffs if it were a "normal" season. Pittsburgh being rewarded for being a five seed and shitting the bed in the qualifying round would be peak NHL.
