The Colorado Avalanche players are at home, hopefully doing their best to stay in game shape. The hope is that the NHL can resume its 2019-20 season when some scenario of the current pandemic makes it safe.
One of the scenarios that has been floated around is to start the playoffs as soon as play can begin. Most players don’t like that idea because they’re not in peak shape right now. They can’t even train like they do in the summer because most don’t have access to an ice rink.
What’s more, the teams aren’t in the same place in their seasons.
