NHL commissioner Gary Bettman reached out to clubs Thursday morning to tell them the regular season would be suspended due to the spread of the coronavirus, a source indicated to The Post. There was a call scheduled for 1 p.m. to work out some of the details on what is a very fluid situation.

The Buffalo Sabres thank you.

The once great Chicago Blackhawks who will miss their second playoff season in a row are also thankful.

Hockey is much more important than attempting to minimize the spread of an infectious disease.

Waiting for someone to stand up to this madness.

This gives “March Madness” a totally new meaning.

yeah, I’m waiting for MLB.tv to ask me to select my all-time favorite team and then try and show film from every game that season in an attempt to avoid refunds. The Lost Season.

I just checked youtube and that clip is available. Pretty amazing that it hasn’t been censored.

I bet the clip with Hammerhans wife isn’t available.

Now they’ve crossed the line of hysteria.

Never mind the fans; what about all the hourly employees who depend on those venues?

(Although my Coyotes may benefit from a little time off. They’ve forgotten how to play hockey.)

Without sports, where will all the minority teens go ?

Riots are more likely than ever — nothing to do.

Lol - best not to think about it any longer dp. If getting drunk helps you with that, well, have at it.

I don’t know what to believe. I wouldn’t put it past the dems to team up with China and plan this whole thing. Time is running short and their desperation to get Trump out of office before Durham acts is real.

The Buffalo Sabres thank you.

The Sabres' season ended months ago. This might allow them to move sooner on dumping their dopey GM, so I guess there is a silver lining.

You can still get sports. It’ll be on the espn classic channel. :)

And youtube. The NFL youtube page has a broad selection of full length "classic" games out there.
