Good morning, y’all. I’m writing this post during the first intermission of the Blues game. After getting clarification on the NHL’s rules, a team is, in fact, allowed to shoot the puck on a power play. Some might go so far as to say it’s recommended!
Before that, however, I was watching the nightcap of a doubleheader with some...questionable decisions by both teams. If it wasn’t already clear, it became abundantly clear today just how big a blow the Cardinals’ COVID-19 outbreak dealt to their pitching staff. St. Louis was without Jordan Hicks, John Brebbia, and Miles Mikolas—and then also lost *takes deep breath* Junior Fernandez, Carlos Martínez, Kodi Whitley, Austin Gomber, and Ryan Helsley to the IL.
