    I’ve solved this boredom problem - a) I’m still working, b) you can never learn everything, and c) the NHL just needs to send 600 players, a few Zambonis, couple nets and pucks, and some TV cameras to Antarctica. No Covid there. Lots of ice, lots of daylight, and just imagine the TV ratings !! You have a better idea ?? What - wait til July ??

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Do this and make the entire playoffs a pay-per-view. Not ideal with no fans attending, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

    We shouldn't discriminate and block penguins from buying tickets. They are people too.

    might have to leave that decision up to the masses. Will consider any and all suggestions and then maybe drag the decision out until the end of this pandemic

    Obviously the Penguins would have home ice advantage.

    This is actually what was proposed for the English Premier league. They wanted to corn teen all the players together and each team would play a couple times a week until they finish the league. Its a great thought, but elite level athletes need time to come up to pace. 4-8 weeks training camp then play the games.... this would impact next season. For that league it is much more complicated as there are teams who are getting promoted/relegated. There are teams fighting a for champions league spot. Lots of money involved for the clubs in all of those scenarios. Its quite crazy to try and work out what to do. Liverpool hasn't won the league in 30 years and they are having the best season of all time.

    Seriously, NONE of this suggestion was serious. Yes, we miss hockey, but
