Bantering Points: 3/16/20

ATTENTION READERS: There will be a poll at the end of the links concerning the future of Bantering Points for the duration of the season’s suspension. Voting in the poll and/or commenting about it will help me decide how to handle  Bantering Points for the time being, so any and all input will help push me towards a decision that you, the readers, want moving forward.

With the hockey world grinded to a halt, hockey news (and more specifically, Rangers news) is going to slow to a crawl, making daily Bantering Points posts unjustified. How would you, the reader, like to see Bantering Points handled moving forward?

A set schedule for new posts, and however many new stories are written in that time period are provided no matter how large or small number (2-3 posts per week, most likely on a M/W/F or Tu/F schedule)233
