VIDEO: 'Price is Right' Contestant Awkwardly Wins Trip to 2020 Stanley Cup Final
By Scott Rogust
The world is coming to terms with the new normal in life created by the coronavirus pandemic. Social distancing and wearing face masks in public will be required until a vaccine for COVID-19 is created. With that said, there's an expectation that no professional sporting events will feature fans in attendance, which was hinted by Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday. This news came on the same day that a Price is Right contestant won a trip to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.

This poor, poor hockey fan.
This episode was obviously pre-recorded, since shows with live studio audiences are on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, sports are expected to continue at some point this year, but without fans in arenas. So, this individual won a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, but won't actually be able to attend.
This poor guy on The Price Is Right just won a hockey package, including a trip to see Game 4 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals. Safe to say he will not be getting any use out of that trip. pic.twitter.com/7LHXx44UfX

Does this trip for four get bumped up to 2021 when the world returns to normalcy and mass gatherings are allowed to return? We have so many questions, but we can't help but feel bad for this man. He won a prize that he can't even enjoy. It's a true shame.
