There is no doubt that when major events happen — though this one is kind of unprecedented — that sports play a major role in helping distract everyone from that particular crisis. Currently, we have really only one of the major sports, the NFL and its offseason moves, giving us something else to think about. However, for those of us who are hardcore NHL fans or even just hockey fans in general, we unfortunately haven’t had any real news to talk about since the league announced it would be “pausing” the season back on March 12. Well, we want hockey baby!
The current stay-at-home policies have millions looking to fill an abundance of free time that would typically be occupied with a flurry of spring sports activity. Arguably one of the best sports chunks of the calendar year any other early April would have seen the NBA and NHL barreling towards the playoffs, non-stop NFL Draft coverage, and a few weeks of MLB action. Gaming is up across the board as we find something to fill the void.
I know a lot of folks would say yes, especially in April. And I completely get it (every team becomes a ‘god’ team, it devalues lower-tier cards like diamonds to the point where no one cares about them anymore and so on). But I’m going to argue otherwise.
If there is anything else you would like to see in the OS weekly wrap-up, feel free to let us know in this post. Otherwise, enjoy getting caught up and we will see you next Sunday.
