Our weird year has led to weird circumstances in the sporting world. Many major events that don’t happen on a seasonal basis (like the Summer Olympics) have been cancelled or postponed, while those seasonal sports were delayed and/or truncated. In North America, the three major sports leagues that would have been playing from March on, the NHL, NBA, and MLB, have had to adapt their schedules, but right now it looks like those three leagues are on track to get back to work in the next few weeks.

Well, this is weird. We’re going to be talking about meaningful NHL games being played in August. Not the Olympics. Not the World Cup. Not the World Championships. Actual NHL playoff hockey.

Good(?) Monday, erreypeeps!

The NHL is now in PHASE ??? to get 2019-20 season rolling again. I sure have a good feeling about this. Nothing could stop it now… In other, entirely unrelated news, a few Blues’ players and one staff member tested positive for COVID-19. That’s the end of the ice hockey section of this post.

I approach the process of writing this new blog post without any sort of plan. You might ask, “How does it differ from everything else you write?” Well… I guess it really doesn’t. So I’m going to throw some fecal matter at a partition and call it a post.
