Mike and Dan discuss the pausing of the NHL season and life in general due to the COVID-19 virus.
They talk about whether or not the Islanders’ 5-4 shootout loss to Vancouver will be the final time we watch them this season and how odd it is thinking about sports during a time of massive social upheaval.
Includes reminders about recommended practices during this time, as well as a few options for Islanders fans looking for things to do while in self-isolation.
