Why the New York Rangers are a team to be feared when play resumes

Professional sports resumed this weekend and New York Rangers hockey is not too far behind. In Germany, the Bundesliga soccer league played games with no fans and awkward goal celebrations. The PGA tour played a tournament with the players in shorts, carrying their own bags. Nascar restarted its engines with a 400 mile race in Darlington, South Carolina, again with no fans and pit crews wearing masks.

The NHL-NHLPA Return to Play committee spent the weekend meeting, discussing plans for resuming the NHL season. According to Pierre LeBrun of the Athletic (subscription required), the headlines were that they favored a 24 team playoff preceded by some regular season games.
