So the #4 seed can end up with a lower seeded opponent than 1, 2 and 3.

Yea. that doesn't make sense. They need to reseed after the first round. But I liked my system better, anyway.

gently caress that series and the loving blues. Maybe I'll just watch up until they intentionally injure the goalies then get awarded the series turning goal while the now injured goalie if writhing around in pain outside of his crease.

So do you think they make it through the first round before somebody tests positive and it all blows up?

Rangers V Carolina would be interesting and provides a possible path out of then first round for the Rangers considering how they play against Carolina

There’s supposed to be frequent and rapid testing in the host cities. I’m guessing that they think that they can quickly isolate anybody that tests positive and keep it from spreading, but lol at that. It does seem like a potential train wreck. Might as well let the NHL be the test case for the big four and see what happens, I say full speed ahead.

DJExile posted:https://twitter.com/NHLNetwork/status/1062759818463604737 The weird thing about this trade is that both Jokinen and Luongo were high draft picks (3rd and 4th in 1997), and Jokinen had just been traded to the Islanders in the Palffy deal. Maybe you start wondering about Jokinen moving forward, but, like, neither Kvasha or Parrish were these great assets that you would just give up on Jokinen, let along Luongo. I am really not sure why they had to trade Luongo to draft DiPietro. It is the same kind of idea that led the Leafs to deal Rask because they had Pogge.

Drafting DiPietro over Heatley/Gaborik was also really out there.

It was a terrible trade but there was some reasoning behind it. The Islanders had just drafted DiPietro who was supposed to be the next big thing in goaltending and that meant the writing was on the wall for Luongo. Jokinen was a throw in who was looking like a bust of a high pick and the Islanders had Connolly coming off a good rookie season looking like their top line centre of the future. Parrish had two straight 24 goal seasons to start his career and was looking like a 30 goal guy for the next decade. Kvasha was supposed to be a big talented Russian that could evolve into a Jagr lite winger but uh yeah he didn't. Really the trade was Luongo for Parrish which at the time wasn't totally out to lunch value wise. Kvasha and Jokinen were struggling talented guys that needed changes of scenery. Basically it was an attempt to deal from a position of strength to address weaknesses. It blew up in the Islanders faces and they idiotically doubled down by picking up Yashin the next year.

I think a problem would be if someone does get covid it would spread around their team first. Then what do you do? Pause all that team's matches for weeks until it clears up?

Mark Parrish wasn't even a bad player for the Isles. He just never capitalized on that promise he had early in his career. And yeah, Jokinen didn't really become Jokinen for a while. Maybe it'd be like if the Flyers traded Nolan Patrick right now? Or Edmonton trading Puljujarvi? I am trying to think of a contemporary example.

Honestly the only thing they can do is shut down that hub for two weeks and wait it out. I think part of the reason they're so eager to get going is this could potentially take months to wrap up with a couple stoppages.

A talented player who's likely good enough to be an everyday NHLer but plagued by accusations of a cruddy work ethic and a rethinking of his high end potential.

It could sort of work if they're getting South Korean tests, or I think Germany has good fast ones too?

Yeah, when a player tests positive it means he's already been spreading the virus for days and half the team likely now has it and is also spreading it. The Glorious Return of Sports will last about a week and a half tops.

I don't know how well thought of Jokinen was as a prospect, despite being drafted high, but iirc, Mittelstadt was a top prospect a few years ago. Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Dylan Strome maybe? He'd be a good example of a guy everyone thought was a bust who started performing better once he was traded.

Restarting sports right now is dumb. With the mortality rate some player or staff or family member is gonna loving die. Best case scenario is the Fall, but that's gonna happen cuz morons still refuse to listen to science. This poo poo is going to get worse before it gets better.
