I don't wanna bum people out but the virus has hit NY. NHL has sent out letters to players not to interact with the fans. It is exploding all over the country right now. Doubling numbers of those sick in a day to two span. This is kind of expected being it recently arrived here in the states,.... but it will eventually level off. But right now it's expanding quickly. And it will effect the NHL. It will go through whole teams. The NHL has some decisions to make. Events are being cancelled across the US. I can't see the NHL not being affected. Will they play games in empty stadiums?

This is one of those games you have to win. LGR

My weekly cheat meal is usually penciled in for Sunday nights. Should I bump it up for tonight's game?

Have to get at least 20 points in the last 15 games to have a realistic 50-50 shot at the postseason. 3 of those games against the flightless birds.

Makes it a lot harder if we lose the games against bottom feeders.

Expect big time games from Tom Chorske, Corey Millen, and Tommy Albelin

Around this time I always say a cliche that these games are what separate contenders vs. pretenders. Yeah, teams solidly in the playoff spot could allow a quick loss of concentration against a team like NJD but those fighting to make it can’t allow it. For them (i.e. NY Rangers) each game is a playoff game right now. As far as 20 points in 15 games, they’d need to go 9-4-2 (or 9 wins - 6 losses) which is, while not easy, still a realistic possibility.

This list is not complete without Valeri Zelepukin.

Can't afford to lose this one. Devils' fan salivating right now.

I must be getting old. I have no idea what you said. I'm not trying to scare anyone. Those who are fairly healthy will survive this, including NHL teams. But it will surely have an effect on the rest of this season and post season.

I thought you didn't want to bum people out. It sounds like the apocalypse.

It's definitely a possibility with Shesty in net, not with the other 2.

I’m still nervously awaiting Shesterkin’s first stinker. Gotta get that over and done with eventually.

It's a joke/reference against people trying to downplay the severity of Corona virus.
