If we all put our money together we can buy Animal crossing for everyone :)
If the NHL does point percentage (if the season actually resumes) then the Habs are in a better draft position.
And that would be great if I had any faith whatsoever in our drafting and player development, which I dont. Habs haven't drafted and developed a superstar calibre player in 25 years.

Well, hopefully they fire the entire management before that happens .
I don't like to throw around this word much, but it really is pathetic.
NHL assures players will be paid through season
NHL players will be issued their final three scheduled paychecks, despite the suspension of the season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
So with no hockey and my two year old still wanting to watch hockey every night, I've been simming the games in NHL 20. Holy cow, the game was NOT meant to sim 20 minute periods though - the stats are insane.
90+ shots per team? I mean the Leafs had a two-goal lead and blew it in 10 seconds, so the simulation isn't all bad...
I adjusted gameplay sliders for the Oilers/Islanders game, to make the puck more 'loose' and it's better but still not quite there. McDavid and Draisaitl work to pick up what should be everyday passes, and the d-men absolutely STRUGGLE on point-to-point passing.
Jameson loves watching it, but I'd still like to tweak it more to get more realistic results and stats. We're watching the Leafs/Boston game sim right now and it's still way too shot heavy.

Completely unsurprising that the Flames under Murray Edwards are acting like embarrassing cheapskates. Absolutely disgraceful.
Draft is likely going to get delayed. This is going to get worse before it gets better. Its expected to escalate throughout April. Honestly, I can't see any NHL/NBA games being played until May at the absolute earliest, and maybe even not then.
May without fans, otherwise June/July is probably a better bet at this point. I'm worried about vacation I have booked for August...
The interesting thing in the case of the NBA is that the league has been contemplating how to rework the schedule in order to get away from the NFL. Coronavirus may do it for them. Because if the NBA Finals end up in like August, the new season wont be kicking off in October.
I may get a potential job offer and move (which I wanted) but it could be affected cuz of all this :(
That's why I asked, the draft can be managed easily with limited contact and it seems a lot easier to just do it based off the standings as is, rather then trying to finish the season and figure it all out months from now.
Raise your hand if you're surprised Jeremy Jacobs is a piece of shit who won't commit to supporting his own employees
*tumbleweeds*
Adam Silver wants to finish the season and they'll go right up to the start of the NFL season if necessary. My guess is they do it and the ratings are huge, leading them to consider switching the schedule permanently.
NHL can't do it, though. Summer heat makes the ice terrible at numerous locations in the league. More than likely they either jump right into the playoffs or just cancel it outright.

I think the NBA WANTS a December-September season. So yep, Coronavirus may help them achieve that.
Melnyk's actually going to ask the employees to pay him instead.
I will give credit to MLSE for at least being a bit proactive with this.
What's funny is that while we've seen media and public pressure on teams like the Jets and Flames to reverse their stances and pay their employees, everyone assumes that Melnyk can't do the same. Thus, the Sens get to escape criticism and leave their staff in the cold thanks to lowered expectations.

A fund is great for long term but MLSE is paying all the staff for the rest of the season right?
Habs are uploading fully simmed games from NHL 20 lmao

This is the weirdest timeline
Canadiens @ Ducks (NHL 20 🎮)
Staying safe by staying home doesn’t mean we can’t have live hockey.Tune in to a CPU vs CPU stream of today's previously scheduled game in Anaheim via NHL 20.

They actually win, so you know it's simulated
I fully support any stupid idea that will get the Jets into the playoff race they don't really deserve to be in.
Also, I keep forgetting about this place, what with the crazy amounts of time I've been spending making myself depressed on Twitter.
How is everyone? Staying as safe and sound as possible? Doing what you can to restrict social gatherings and not being those idiots cramming their local bars because school/work is out? Good, good.
