The whole world is on pause, and it’s giving everyone a whole lot of time to reflect upon the day-to-day things we never really consider how lucky we are to have on a regular basis.
Though they’re not the most important thing in the world, sports are one of them.
Fans and athletes alike have been left getting creative to get their fix at home, but are also faced with the tough reality that the 2019-2020 season could potentially be over.
Though it would be for a greater good, it wouldn’t make it any easier on athletes if this was the case, especially for teams that loaded up for big playoff runs this year.
Before the abrupt stoppage, the Tampa Bay Lightning sat at second place in the NHL standings with 92 points. They bolstered their already scary lineup with pieces like Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow, and looked poised to make a notable run at their second Stanley Cup in franchise history.
So you have to imagine, while it’d be hard for anyone, it would be especially tough for teams that are in their championship windows.
Today, the Lightning's Ryan McDonagh addressed how tough it would be if the season was called, especially with how much the team has done to set themselves up for success this season.
Ouch.
This one definitely pulls at the heart strings, and we’re also hoping there’s a way to award the Cup this season.
