I've decided just now that it's not the real playoffs and they shouldn't award the Stanley Cup and it shouldn't even really count for anything anyway!

The real question is do they trade Lafreniere to get the big defenseman they need or do they move Nylander or Marner instead?

Is this bargaining or is this still denial?

Just joking around. I'm a Leafs fan. Depression 24/7.

I dunno, the bubble seems to be working and I think they might pull it off. They could still fuck it up with letting families in, but I don't see any reason to lump this in with the really stupid ideas like the baseball season.

Kind of weird to watch playoff hockey at lunchtime.

Lmao I think they're already going to have to delay the Islanders game--they need 90 minutes to disinfect in-between.

We have to remember they are continuing the season that was like 11 games from being over to begin with. So I'd say this playoff outcome should be fairly legit. No asterisks.

Blues are not going to defend their title, that's for sure. Yeesh.

Agreed--huge difference between turning 10-12 games into a play-in tourney and cutting a 162 game season down to 60 games. Some wonky results from that but nothing that wouldn't have happened in the first round anyway (Edmonton and Pittsburgh collapsing).

Vancouver looks tough. Will be an interesting series to watch..

Yeah, the only real difference is Montreal and Chicago getting through to the playoffs. They would have had zero chance if they played out the regular season.

Sure, of course, but I don't think we'll see much of those two teams in the near future.
