Hey, friends. Our world has been turned upside down over the last few days and weeks by COVID-19. Even sports, which are typically welcome distractions in difficult days, have been shut down and paused this week.
We’re in uncharted territory, but I’m happy that I have an outlet like this to enjoy. We’ll keep providing content here at All About the Jersey, and I hope you’ll keep reading.
Keep washing your hands. We’ll get through this together, friends.

What might the league look like if we’re able to return at some point? TSN’s Bob McKenzie gives some thoughts: [TSN]
Will we get a unique playoff format? Best of five?
.@FriedgeHNIC: NHL still wants to award Stanley Cup this year. That says to me that they will do everything in their power to do something. I think the Commissioner made it clear, they are recognizing the unique scenario this season is & willing to consider unique playoff formats
