this makes no damn sense either, go play for two weeks then go home for week with the wife and kids because they will be living in a bubble or are immune to the flu...

Yeah.  That makes sense.  I'm not going to be surprised if the season is suspended altogether.
If they don't get it started before Jan 20 (cough, cough) then it won't likely happen because come Jan 21.....we are going to be in another shut down crisis.  (which will of course be Trump's fault)

Even if they don't let the fans in because someone might catch a flu that has a %99.8 recovery rate, I think this is preferable over that bubble bullshit...

thought I posted this the other day...

if things keep going this way, I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a season because the NHLPA strikes

https://novacapsfans.com/2020/11/17/the-latest-on-the-nhls-return-to-play/

"The NHLPA has recently stated that they are not willing to accept additional prorated pay reductions if the regular season is shortened, yet the NHL seems to be moving in that direction."

The players won't accept further pay reductions"?


SO if they start the season and then Commander Covid craps his depends and calls for cumulative collapse of the economy.....and the season ends at 10 games...
The players still expect to be paid for 70 games?


Um.  No.


Oh wait...I'll tell all my customers due to Covid I can no longer fulfill any of their needs, but I will still bill them fully for all the products and services (not rendered)
Works for me  :)


Man, I'm thinking the season is in real danger (as is this country)  (sorry...mixed into wrong thread)

Vegas doesn't think the NHL will start on or before January 1, which is being far more optimistic than I am. There hasn't been any news in almost two weeks.

Unfukinbelievable, keep in mind the entire thing must end on or before July 22. The summer olympiad starts July 23 and NBC can't televise both at the same time.

How can the players expect to get paid a full season salary if they do not play a full season?  Nobody gets paid for completing 65% of a contract...well nobody I know.
Oh...sorry...they agreed to 10% reduction (of their already ridiculous salaries) for cutting the season by 25-40%.  That's equitable.


I'm getting ready to just say F-them...just like about every other sport.  I gave up on NFL about 5 years ago and have not missed it one bit.
