  1. Shannon, I don't think you have considered

    The S C A N D E L L A effect

    Then you will see that it's a good deal.

  2. Really dumb idea that is basically centered around money.
    Either open it all up and take your chances or don't do it at all.
    Seems smarter to not do it at all since everyone is so worried about dying.
    If you reopen this thing and one hockey player catches it they are going to shut it all down again.
    Don't even have to be a hockey player it could be a coach, ref, broadcaster… etc etc.

  3. What's gonna happen when players refuse to play because of family or Saftey concerns? Are they obligated by contract? Should be interesting

  4. If the players are sequestered for games, I don’t want to hear them crying about being separated from family! Members of the military are separated from family and they put their lives in danger every damn day.

  5. Why can’t STL free up $5M+ when they have Allen, Bozak and Steen who combined are going to make nearly $15M next season. (All in their final contract year) if Army wants to resign Petro he has pieces he can shuffle around to make it happen. Even with the resigning of Scandella, Mac and Blais.

  6. NHL is gonna come to New Brunswick canada. Why? Because of our low population and that we are the butthole of canada we've only had 120 cases of covid and one death. It would be one of the safest place for them in north America lol

  7. People are broke, out of work and worried about keeping a roof over their heads or food on their table. When will sports resume? How long before i can support teams and players that have millions and millions of dollars? Big wake up call incoming.

  8. There are blues players coming off the books that will lower the cap some, not much, but some. Scandellas deal was a wash for boumeesters deal, and there are some pieces doug can move to keep Petro. I think he stays.

  9. The NHL cannot afford another lockout. Although I still like hockey, every time this happens my interest is less and less.

    I was also never onboard with the switch to color jerseys at home. Yes I know that is how it was prior to 1971 but I still have always preferred white jerseys at home.

    Being that I am a Coyotes fan, when they do the white out (if the Yotes even make the playoff) everyone wears white except the team (who wears Red).

    This is simply retarded but pretty much in line with the continued move to idiocracy in the world.

  10. Why would St. Louis make these signings when they still need to sign Dunn? They have to know something we don't. It doesn't make sense otherwise.

  11. I tried watching pro golf with no fans (Suadi Open), it's worse then you can imagine! And that's golf, can't imagine hockey like that.

  12. I agree that Scandella is not worth that much, but I strongly disagree that the Blues will sell Petro. Although St. Louis has a reputation of selling their captains, the previous three captains (Brewer and Backes) were only locker room warriors. Dallas Drake was a tank, but not very skilled. Petro is the engine of the back line. He has all the qualities needed to have if you wanna be a constant cup contender. Without him, the whole chemistry is jeopardized.

  13. I just realized how bad the cap situation actually is now maybe another lockout like 2005 or in 2012-2013 shortened season that began in January. So we might not only have played this full season for nothing but now we might not have next season on top of finishing this season! Right now it’s like all the world is on a pause but the time isn’t stopping…

  14. The cap is basically welfare for the small market teams. I live in Detroit and our team sucks but we still have the arena sold out. The seats may not be full but the seats are sold because if you don’t keep your seats you go to the back of the line to get seats

  15. It's all BS. Cancel the season and let the organizations concentrate on building their team for the 2020-2021 season. Trying to play in the Summer is ridiculous, period. You can't play this Summer and expect teams to be ready to go for a new regular season. Cancel this season and be done with it.

  16. The Faulk trade/exentison will go down as one of the worst trades ever. If they lose Pietrangelo. Its a firerable offence

  17. They should get the three best forwards, two best defenseman, and best goalie to play as their own character on NHL 20 and finish the season with 6 on 6 video game hockey. I would watch it. We might see that much desired increase in scoring.
