some good news

 

Have the losing bubble teams finish the MLB seasons in EDM and Toronto

 

I still say cancel it all

 

Team makes the playoffs for the first time since the mesozoic era, and this is what happens

 

ESPN: You asked teams to have season-ticket holders submit reactions -- cheering, chanting -- that will be used during games. You also asked a few teams, including the Boston Bruins, to submit booing. How are you going to handle piped-in booing during games?

Mayer: I don't know if we are. What we wanted to do was have every possible chant, just to have them. We probably went overboard in what we asked for. I don't know if we're ever going to use [booing]. But I really don't think, at the end of the day, that we're going to go there. We figured it was better to have it, but I don't see a scenario where we would use it.

ESPN: OK, how about this scenario: when Gary Bettman hands out the Stanley Cup?

Mayer: [laughs] That could be the only time we use it. He's good-natured about it. He joked the other day about how this could be the only time ever that he's not booed, but maybe we can make it work since we've got the fans on video.

LOL

 

FYI: the Flyers-Pens exhibition game is starting soon on NBCSN

 

I can’t believe I’m watching live hockey right now.

 

The arena looks really cool.

 

This rules

 

Boucher in his own personal bubble/dunk tank is my favorite thing so far

 

I can't believe how normal this feels, other than those occasional high angle views, this looks and sounds like a regular game

 

All Cops are Raskers

 

It took 15 years, but we can now say the Leafs won the Rask trade.

 

Feels good to actually be watching a hockey game again.

The guy on NBCSN just made a good point too that it didn't feel really much different with no fans, more just as if it was a winter classic game where you cant see the crowd since they are further back and not right against the glass.

 

Billboard in Toronto. The Flyers have a hell of a marketing team.

 

Are games being streamed?

 

Calgary’s going to get their ass embarrassed again and I can’t wait

 

Can both teams lose?

 

Hoping for a line brawl in an empty arena.

 

Rask wearing a cop hat and David Pastrnak praising Tom Wilson on Twitter, that’s that shit I don’t like

 

Pasta: For sure lost a bet.

Tuukka: As someone with three relatives in the BPD... yikes.

 

It's about goddamn time.
