No one really cares. No one I talk to in my extended group of friends is talking about the lack of NHL hockey games as any sort of serious issue whatsoever. Even if the league did manage to come back in some limited form, interest in buying a ticket and actually attending a game with 10-12thousand other people will be low due to health concerns. Maybe more interest in televised games, as there is precious little else on tv these days. Watching a trainwreck is still better than watching reruns and has-beens on netflix for some. I'd say just kill the current season and start up a new season late in the fall if the pandemic is showing real signs of abating. Otherwise, wait till Jan 2021 and run a shorter season.
