Speaking of good social media things, Sara’s DRW Awards is an annual tradition that I love.

Around the League

Eichel out for season for Sabres with neck injury – NHL.com

“Very, very difficult,” Sabres coach Don Granato said Wednesday. “Knowing as a person, his commitment, his character, and he’s playing through it. And it’s not something you want exposed, obviously, because it’s such a competitive environment, so that’s information you don’t want the opponents to have, obviously, for his safety. … It’s a bummer. It is. You just hope for him to feel better every day and improve every day, and that’s in essence what you think of and how you think about it.”

This is going to make it more difficult for him to trade himself.

Grubauer out at least two weeks for Avalanche in NHL COVID-19 protocol – NHL.com

“It’ll be at least 14 days before his next game,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said of Grubauer. “Not ideal, but I know he’ll be hungry to get back in the net when he’s healthy.”

I want the next two weeks to make them regret not trading for Bernier.  I mean, I want that team to suffer as a matter of course, but now extra-hard.
