It looks like a season that is going to end prematurely any day. I won't be able to watch this game either. I sure hope I haven't see the last Wild game of this season, as watching Fiala has been fun!

I'm seeing conflicting reports on Twitter. One of our followers said that Vegas is on a flight home, but Russo says they're in their hotel rooms awaiting further instructions. It seems that on-ice officials have been told to book flights home.

Well. Sounds like it's going to be many, long no-hockey-at-all months... sucks.

Pierre LeBrun reporting Bettman asked the Board of Governors to put the season on hold (not cancelled)...

And that's that. 

 

Think they're going to play the last 11 games of the season or just draw a line in the standings right now when and if they resume play in a month or so?

If it takes a month or two, it's hard to believe they would find time for the 11 games. I'm guessing there won't even be the playoffs.

Personally, I think the US is about three months from this thing calming down. I'm using China as a gauge. Started in December (November really, but that's another story) and now in March China is reporting that new cases are declining. Things are just starting here, so I'm guessing that things are going to get worse before they get better here, probably around June or so...

My son an hour outside cities when he heard game/season on hold. Very pissed.....
