NHL suspends season amid COVID-19 pandemic

Last Updated Thursday, March 12, 2020 1:54PM EDT

"The NHL has been attempting to follow the mandates of health experts and local authorities, while preparing for any possible developments without taking premature or unnecessary measures," the statement read.

The Spanish flu forced the cancellation of the 1919 Cup final, while the entire 2004-05 campaign was lost to a lockout.

FayeGrim Was going to see 2 NHL games 1 in Minnesota,1 in Winnipeg, guess I'm leaving Saint Paul Minnesota and heading home to NL.😪😪😪😪

TY for your leadership

ugh and crap

And just when the Senators were starting to make their run for the playoffs and the Cup.

On Saturday night on TV show the 1967 NHL playoffs when Toronto won the Stanley Cup.

Remember that less than a thousandth of 1% of the population has the disease. Aren't we over reacting a bit? Wash our hands often, avoid large gatherings when we can, wear a mask when we can't and move forward. Highest risk group should probably isolate themselves for now

The senators must be in their glory. They will finish the season without another loss.

Plan coming soon to mitigate 'significant' economic blow from COVID-19: PMPrime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that there are going to be 'significant economic impacts' felt by Canada because of the novel coronavirus. Look at that face. Not a coherent thought in his pretty little head. Great picture. He looks as clueless as always. A simple resignation would alleviate the country of many of it's ills. The 'plan' will be coming just as soon as the provinces and territories explain to this bunch of twits how a plan gets made.
