thought I posted this the other day...
if things keep going this way, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a season because the NHLPA strikes

"The NHLPA has recently stated that they are not willing to accept additional prorated pay reductions if the regular season is shortened, yet the NHL seems to be moving in that direction."

The players won't accept further pay reductions"?
SO if they start the season and then Commander Covid craps his depends and calls for cumulative collapse of the economy.....and the season ends at 10 games...
The players still expect to be paid for 70 games?
Um. No.
Oh wait...I'll tell all my customers due to Covid I can no longer fulfill any of their needs, but I will still bill them fully for all the products and services (not rendered)
Works for me :)
Man, I'm thinking the season is in real danger (as is this country) (sorry...mixed into wrong thread)

Vegas doesn't think the NHL will start on or before January 1, which is being far more optimistic than I am. There hasn't been any news in almost two weeks.
