Why does everyone say the Flyers are bad? Honestly with their roster and Hart being out for a while it's pretty impressive what their record is

It's a gimmick thing.

I imagine they expect the worst of it will pass by mid May and they'll start back up with the playoffs and/or a play in by June. Maybe a six week condensed playoffs with the first round or two cut to 5 games.

If it lasts longer than that probably just skip awarding a cup this year and treat the current standings as the the threshold for determining trade conditions.

They're wrong because the US is a disaster, but that's the belief yes.

NHL protocol for a canceled playoffs is to specifically mention nobody won on the trophy so that people can't even do that.

Aphrodite

ThinkTank posted:

Some lawsuit after the lockout means that if the Stanley Cup isn't awarded by the NHL some other organization (I think hockey Canada) can use it as a prize for amateur competition. The NHL said 'fight me' in 2012 when there was a threat of cancelling the season and it was brought up again so that's probably a no go.

Still, there remains an outside chance the Trail Smoke Eaters will be the 2019/20 Stanley Cup Champions.

That lawsuit just said the trustees can choose to award it outside the NHL in case of an NHL season not happening, not that they must.

It's not completely accurate. A TVA guy posted earlier this afternoon that the Habs have something in the works.

And Jacobs isn't paying TD Garden staff, he took Boston off because of a Gofundme.

When you're even more of a shitbag than Melnyk... that's bad

Not to take away from Jacobs being scum, but this isn’t entirely true. The Sabres and Jets aren’t paying their arena staff either, and a number of teams have nothing real, just statements that they will do something.

Meanwhile people have bills to pay. The league has been shut down for a week and a half now. Don’t give these garbage dicks credit for empty words.

Both the Sabres and Jets have announced plans to pay arena workers, either fully (Jets) or partially (Sabres) funded by ownership.

Sabres are only paying for canceled games, of which there are none.

Jets are paying 3% of their staff that qualify.

They're not laying off any full-time staff and are paying all part-time and casual employees through the end of the month.

Yeah that’s what the Sabres did. It means they either get paid by working those games at a later date, or if they get canceled.

But that doesn’t help their bills they need to pay right now.
