Unfortunately for me, I won't get to see my Islanders until Thursday and Leon until Friday
Oh and sorry man, I was giving Varlamov some rest since I was off too. I didn't think they'd rest the whole team.

Turbo is the super champion of the Central division, because he Turbo-charged through the last 5 weeks, and gets a bye while he waits for his opponent (the winner of @Hollywood vs. @Jonathan Y , he believes) in the semis.

On the other hand - no offense to anyone - the Central ended up being a pretty tough division. Four of us made the playoffs! Good luck getting by @Hollywood first

Colorado Avalanche netminder Philipp Grubauer has tested positive for COVID-19, reports Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Colorado canceled its morning skate Wednesday as a result.
Grubauer, 29, has been enjoying a career year, going 25-8-1 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.00 goals-against average.
Colorado added veteran goaltender Devan Dubnyk ahead of the trade deadline. Dubnyk and Jonas Johansson, whom the Avalanche acquired in March from the Buffalo Sabres, will likely share the crease until Grubauer returns.
Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram is also on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list, notes The Athletic's Peter Baugh.

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews won't play against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, head coach Sheldon Keefe announced.
Matthews is considered day-to-day and isn't expected to be held out long, Keefe adds.
When asked if the 23-year-old is suffering from the same injury as a wrist ailment that resulted in Matthews missing three games earlier this season, Keefe said "it's similar but not the same no," according to The Athletic's Jonas Siegel.
The forward was the first Leafs player on the ice for the morning skate Thursday, but he departed before it officially began. The team practiced with these lines without the sniper:
Matthews leads the league with 32 goals over 40 games, and he's also added 21 assists.

The NHL has postponed the next three games on the Colorado Avalanche's schedule after a third Avalanche player entered COVID-19 protocols, the league announced Friday.
The Avalanche canceled their morning skate Friday after a COVID-19 test came back positive from Thursday's testing. Colorado goaltender Philipp Grubauer reportedly tested positive earlier this week and joined defenseman Bowen Byram on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.
Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar said Wednesday he expects Grubauer to miss "more than 14 days."
Colorado was scheduled to play the Los Angeles Kings on Friday and Sunday before facing the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. The league expects the Avalanche to re-open team facilities on April 21 and return to action against the Blues the following night.

@Hollywood @Jonathan Y
Since your match is so close this may end up being relevant to you: if I'm interpreting the league settings correctly, the tie breaker is the regular season ranking. That would mean @Jonathan Y wins the tie.
