NHL’s Bettman wants to finish season if possible

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says canceling the rest of the 2019-20 season is not something he is contemplating. During a virtual town hall this week, Bettman said shutting down the season and not handing out a Stanley Cup is too easy a solution to the current crisis. Bettman said under the right circumstances, the NHL will finish out the remainder of the season even if it means playing games over the summer. Only twice in its 127-year history has the Stanley Cup not been awarded
