NHL actually announced this on Saturday. Which made it strange that the reporters had locker room access after the Buffalo game.

It was up to the teams at that point.

We are all going to die. Quick let's buy out toilet paper before it's too late.

I’m still puzzled by this. Why toilet paper?

If teams are intent on being petri dishes for disease vectors, then they shouldn’t penalize fans for opting out. It will mean smaller and more tepid crowds, and players won’t like that, but then, the players crave worship.

On Monday, several Flyers shared LeBron’s indignation and, frankly, his ignorance.

“I don’t know enough to have an educated opinion,” said defenseman Matt Niskanen. “We’ve been advised to wash our hands, things like that. Keep in touch with the training staff if anything comes up. As far as dealing with media or fans, not much has been said. They sent out a memo. I’m not sure guys even looked at it.”

I shook his sweaty hand -- our last handshake for a while, apparently -- and moved on.

Niskanen apparently is one of the players who didn’t get the memo, since both the NBA and NHL have advised players to limit interactions with people not on their team. To be fair, contamination might be less of a concern with hockey players, who literally play their game behind a glass, but who, nonetheless, might have a tighter visceral connection to fans, whose frenzies they relish.

Flyers become legit cup contenders and all of a sudden Armageddon comes. Go figure.

There was a video going viral of two ladies in Australia (I think?) that were brawling in a super market over toilet paper.

For reference, COVID currently kills at a much higher rate than the flu and so far has been 2-3 times more contagious.

The Spanish flu (which had a similar but lower mortality rate) began in 1917 and it wasn't until 1918 that its full impact was apparent. It's very, very early to be dismissive of this based on what we've seen.

Thats fair. I shouldnt be dismissive and I am taking precautions, but I also dont think its as scary as the media is hyping it to be.

Would love to slap this guy in the face with a rubber chicken. What a pompous prick.

I worked in a super market in high school. It absolutely sucked the days/nights before a snow storm with all the morons that rush there & stock up on shit like they’re about spend the next week locked in their house.

Again, my offer to raise bail money stands for any media-related shenanigans.

Marcus Hayes is probably my #1 most disliked reporter out there.

I'm ok with the Flyers hoisting the Stanley Cup in an empty arena

Are you also ok with no parade?

I'm having my own parade. Everyone's invited

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I was gonna make a joke using a hazmat suit & when I typed it in google it popped up really quick before finishing it. So I guess it’s been a popular search item in google lately.

 

[Striiker]

I don't care about a parade but I want the arena to be full when we win the cup. The atmosphere is important.
