^ That'll do.

Honesty, that more than I thought they’d give him.

 

[esls79]

That’s like 10 regular season games and 2 preseason games. Seems adequate. I mean excessive.

It just sucks that we have Ryan Reaves going off like a crazed hyena a few days ago and only got 2 with his history.

No real problem with this one. But getting one right a year is not a good look.

Ok side question
The winner of this round plays the Avs/Knights winner.
Canada has not said it will allow teams to be exempt from travel restrictions.
If the teams have to play in the US:
Would you rather see all the games at one location? Giving the US team 7 home games.
or
Maybe a neutral site game? Like LA or Seattle or Detroit/Buffalo ? I picked LA for proximity to both Colorado and Vegas, Seattle for the ability for Canadians to get there and most neutral site I could think and Detroit or Buffalo for proximity to the Canadian teams.
And do you think fans would go? Would kings, wings or things ( sabers) fans pay to watch a rival (ish) team? Would Seattle fans be happy to watch another team play there first. Kings , Stars and Avs all played Vegas arena first.
Would /can Canadians travel in big enough number?
Just sitting on the couch while the wife watches cooking shows and my mind wonders.

If that exemption doesn't come through, I'd say you have to go with either a) an entirely neutral site series or b) a ban on fans in Colorado/LV.

I'd vote full neutral site personally and probably without fans since it would be tough to have both teams fairly represented. Geographically I'd probably look at STL or Minnesota as the best choices.

Assuming neither Winnipeg or Montreal is good enough to beat Colorado (sorry LV), I wouldn't see it being an issue past next round anyway.

You are funny. The NHL not sell tickets and make a few bucks.Crazy. I think they will give the West team all the games at home. The North will be called the home team for line changes and jersey reasons. They save money on transportation so another win

Oh man... that is sick.

Saying he shouldn't be suspended is one thing. Going after his family is just awful and pathetic.

Yeah, fair enough, I guess I was saying what they should do, but this is the NHL after all...

Yep.

Go after the Person. Not their family.

IMO it should be criminialized..........

 

[davnlaguna]

I think they will get to play at home. They will try to enforce a bubble with all the NHL players and staff. So the north players won’t see friends or family until they are done playing and then 14 days quarantine at home. While the US teams will get home cooked meals at home.

The problem is how hard it is to find the person behind it. Anonymous keyboard warriors. Not impossible, but you never find 80% of them.

And of course, getting anything criminal beyond a slap on the wrist to stick is near impossible when you do.

 

[Comeds]

Pretty good start for both teams. Award winning analysis.

 

[Comeds]

Pretty cool - in Winnipeg tonight there are 500 recent violent crime paroles in attendance for the game.

I think we have another entry for the coffee table book...Nice fly-by Connor
