If this only lasts two months , I for one would be very surprised. I do hope that's right though.
Yup. Since the CDC is recommending no sports for 8 weeks...that's May 11. And that's a preliminary recommendation. I can't believe they'll go from 50 people to 50,000 right on that date, even if everything "looks good" - which I don't think it will. That's a best case scenario - it might easily take until June or July - or longer - for the world to get back to quasi-normal.
I think we're gonna kiss the playoffs goodbye. Wouldn't surprise me if they held off on formally announcing anything in order to hold on to STH money. Bruins STHs have 6 regular season games worth of cash tied up because they're "postponed", not cancelled. There is no fairy tale world in which 6 regular season games are going to be played at the Garden. Even if you assume that hockey in August could be a thing and that people, for some reason, were "aching" for regular season games, the most they'd probably do in terms of the regular season is maybe "top off" each team - 72 games, get as close to 36 home games as possible, so nobody has a game in hand.
