But hey, I support it. Let the bruisers have some fun!
Yes, this season will have an asterisk. So will the shortened 2020 baseball season, assuming that season happens.
The year 2020 will have asterisks and omissions all around.
A future college basketball trivia question will be, who won the NCAA championship in 2020?
Nope. No asterisk. It’s all about the playoffs anyway. Making them longer and harder just makes it better. And given how little advantage home ice is, especially in the playoffs where half the top seeded teams lose in the first round pretty much every year, the hub thing really means nothing.
