It’s good to be back!
Yesterday’s game was the first for the league in months, and while it may not have mattered as far as playoff seeding goes, it mattered a heck of a lot to the league, the players, and the fans. There were a lot of people doubting that we’d even get this far, myself included, but the job that the NHL has done so far regarding COVID-19 has been admirable. By the end of phase three only two players had tested positive, and zero since July 18th. The guidelines they put in place have clearly worked, and been properly enforced to this point.
