Flames, Oilers temporarily laying off staff
I feel bad for anyone that is losing hours at work during this.

NHLPA Player Poll 2019-20
I love how Marchand and Doughty go 1-2 in both the best trash talker and worst trash talker questions.

Ranking the NHL's No. 1 overall picks of the 2010s
Maybe it's just me, but I'd put Mac ahead of Matthews.

They did ask him about the decision to sign with LA and he said it came down to respecting how they developed Jack Campbell and the goalie coaching duo at the time of Bill Ranford (NHL) & Dusty Imoo (Development coach).

The 2020 NHL broadcast rankings: The best and worst markets...
I think a ton of fans around the league will celebrate who ended up dead last in these rankings.
I think that is fair.
I would agree that Duff & Biron are top notch.

19. Buffalo Sabres
The broadcast: MSG Western New York carries Sabres games, with Rick Jeanneret and Dan Dunleavy on play-by-play and Rob Ray doing colour.
The results: Some of the deference Buffalo gets from national viewers can be chalked up to Jeanneret, who throughout an incredible career has managed to pull off something remarkable: although widely regarded as a Sabres partisan, he’s done such a good job historically that he’s forgiven for it.
“He’s a huge homer, but he does a great job being entertaining without making it all about him,” wrote one respondent from Detroit, who listed Buffalo’s broadcast as one of the best in the league.
Among local voters, Jeanneret’s legacy is secure. There was however a sense that after 15 years of short-term extensions — and a half-decade with his planned successor waiting in the wings on part-time duty — it was time for a change.
“The entire in-game experience needs to be refreshed,” said one of many such respondents.
Ray’s sense of humour earned him positive marks with some viewers, but the vast majority of respondents took issue with his commentary, with some picking on his overly pro-Sabres slant and others singling out an old-school approach to the game.
“He gets excited about fighting and literally nothing else,” said one.
The studio duo of Brian Duff and Martin Biron received nearly universal praise.
“Duffer and Marty are the perfect combo of analytics and first-hand experience,” wrote one respondent in a comment which was echoed throughout in-market ballots.
The bottom line: A decent overall rating masks a poor grade from locals and the pending difficulty of what happens post-Jeanneret.
I think that is fair.
I would agree that Duff & Biron are top notch.

Canucks blown away by J.T. Miller's off-ice impact - Sportsnet.ca
A lot of people questioned what the Canucks gave up for Miller. But, that deal has worked out well so far for the VanCans.

Prospects could have a much harder time making the jump to the NHL next season
That could be an interesting side effect of all of this.

Honesty thought this was Robs best year. And RJ was better than last year. The broadcast deserves a bottom half ranking for how many goals we missed while stats were being shown.The 2020 NHL broadcast rankings: The best and worst markets...

What happens with the cap will have a huge effect also. Less money will squeeze out marginal vets in favor of ELC, especially ones that don't have too many reachable bonuses attached.

Yeah, Duffer and Biron are the best part of the Sabres telecast. Marty is a treasure.
If it's the end of the world humans vs the robots, and the humans are on those two teams you mentioned, I'm fighting with the robots. Bruins and pigs are ranked right where they belong.
