They've went from 19 games in 31 days to 19 games in 32 days.

Like it's good they're giving them a little bit more time to get started and I realize you can't play a full season without jamming games in there... but this could still end up being a complete trainwreck.

The extra day off is actually better for Matthews, hopefully he rips home 7 goals on Sunday.

It certainly benefits the Leafs a little, yeah. Also gives Foligno an extra day to skate/stretch his body out after the quarantine.

Foligno could now hypothetically play in all three games remaining against Winnipeg with an actual day of getting in the ice before he starts.  Interesting

So everyone got worked up so the Canucks could get a whopping two extra days out of it?  Yeah, okay then.  ::)
They're so far out of it. Does the integrity of the game really rest on any of their games? Honestly probably not at this point when they're going to be objectively worse post-covid just from a physiology standpoint.

15 of their 19 games left are against the Leafs/Jets/Oilers/Flames.  While the Canucks are likely out of things all of their games have implications.

Damn, that's crazy.

It's also crazy that he already looked like he was in his 30s when drafted.
 
I mean it's great and all that Marleau is setting the games played record but he's really had no business playing in the league the last 2 seasons

I get that but what's the difference really if you just don't play those games? Obviously there's a certain level of points divied up there but if they aren't in any condition to play then what does it matter?

Also if this was Jack Campbell and not Patrick Marleau, Jack Campbell would retire before the next game so as not to knock Gordie Howe out of the record book.

I suppose the same can be said about Joe Thornton as well.

People are already complaining about Thorton's play lately and he's still outperforming Marleau. I remember watching a Pens playoff game and at the end of the game I realized Marleau was on the Pens cause I saw him. Didn't hear his name or see him actually touch the puck the entire game. I'm pretty sure alot of Marleau's games are like that now.
