NHLPA Approves Return-to-Play Format

Some locations have a waffle iron too. BYOB* though.


*bring your own batter

That's good. The Leafs will have to make their own since their fans won't be able to attend the games.

Asked my brother who he thought that might be and he said it was a sasquatch photo lol

1450 tests, 15 positive from NHL phase 2 protocol
11 more positives from other sources

That's actually lower than I thought it would be.

36 positive tests among 250 players?

Or is that additional 11 including players outside the 250 already in camps and being tested multiple times?

Have the zebras ok’d this back to hockey plan? I haven’t heard if they’re immune to it or not yet.

as I read it, 15 players from 1,450+ test that were part of the NHL back to work plan.
those extra 11 positives were not part of the return protocol testing, and we don't have a denominator for those (ie. how many tests)

don't know if there is any double counting from the 15 from the other 11. If there was, I would think it would be clearly stated as such

Nobody wants to go to Edmonton

You put a hub city in, you take a hub city out, you put a hub city in and you dick 'em all about.

You do the Covey-pokey and you're coughing up a lung!

SETTLE THIS WHILE WE'RE YOUNG

Welp, Cup winner is definitely coming from the west this year.

Imagine how pissed off players are going to be after spending two months in Edmonton.

My friend, I think you are underestimating how bad a city Edmonton is - You probably think I am using hyperbole, but my descriptions of that place are totally accurate. Why do you think the league is exploring all other options and taking so long to make an announcement?

No somewhat decent hotels? Motels? Fuckshacks?

Unless I'm mistaken, players won't be able to really go out on the town so i wonder why it really matters.....unless Edmo is that bad.

Edit- I see Edmonton has Starz but no Showtime or the Home Box Office

I think it's the players who are holding up things - If Vancouver was still in the running, I think an announcement of Vancouver and Toronto would have already been made.

/Edmonton does have a beautiful arena, but the bathrooms are no good

Fingers crossed they have troughs.....

puck posted it in the other thread, but Bobby Mac/TSN is essentially confirming that Edmonton and Toronto will be the twp hub cities.

My guess re: Edmonton hesitation is that the players want their families close or even at games and sticking THEM in a place like that for an extended period of time is unkind.

But all things equal, I really don’t care about that. If his has to happen for whatever reason I’m not very concerned for a trophy wife and their kids and nannies having to eat at Cactus Club five times a week instead of Cioppino’s.
