Yeah, the Sens blueline is quite the mishmash of good puck movers and terrible stay-at-home types.

I really feel like the word "trailblazer" should be reserved for much more serious things but aside from that these seem fine.

What's worse: Friedman calling the Devils "trailblazers" for being the first to post a picture of their decal or the Capitals posting a 45 second video that describes having a decal on their helmet as a "historic moment"?

Yeah, if the usage of the word "trailblazer" from a pretty decent reporter deserves special mention for derision, then it's indeed been a year with incredibly high standards.

This is a pretty boring conclusion for what could've been high asset management drama. Before everyone accuses them of doing this on purpose, it's like the Leafs getting out of a cap conundrum with a player somewhere between Matthews and Marner level out for the regular season, without a Tavares/Nylander in the wings.

Yeah I'm not doubting that the injury is legit. The question is gonna be when he inevitably gets medical clearance to play right before game 1 of the playoffs... could he have actually been healthy enough to play a week or a month before that and they just kept him on the LTIR because of cap issues?

It could be even more interesting if they're in danger to missing the playoffs. No guarantees that Stamkos will play or for how long and with both out their chances def get reduced.CarltonTheBear said:

I haven't read this but.... I think in general the teams can try to keep any illnesses isolated. I know it won't be perfect or easy, but if all the teams are on board then I think there has to be a path forward. Travel isn't really restricted at all and although hockey poses its own specific risks to the virus, I just find it tough that considering how they still have a lot of latitude to lay down the hammer if they wanted to in most places, they just generally haven't.
Basically what I'm saying is give me a harder lockdown or give me hockey.

The only real issue I have is the NHL has handled this whole situations extremely poorly. They don't have approval for their schedule but released their schedule. They shouldn't be negotiating to have things work at this point unless unforseen circumstances changed a pre-existing agreement.
This is more of the "I'll relocate the team if you don't pay for the arena" style strong arming in my eyes and that bothers me.
