Is this game actually happening, or are we still pretending we need to pause?

I wonder if the new CDC guidelines will be put into effect for the NHL or not, right away. Reucing from 10 to 5 days is pretty big.

 

[lgrwmike]

The game is a go as of now, both teams will be shorthanded.

 

[DTR]

Brock Nelson entered protocols today. Probably won’t know until tomorrow’s testing if the Islanders can go.

I just went through it and it isn't fun. I wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy. It spreads like wild fire.

Thank goodness. This game was really going to cut into my Zadina discussion time.

 

[Pavels Dog]

I think [POSTPONED] is going to be a great game. Really hope to see [PROTOCOL] have a great performance in that one.

 

[golffuul]

That's why I love you, Bench. Your sarcasm is #chefskiss

 

[Dotter]

The NHL needs to either shut off the season entirely or just play through it. Make a decision and stick with it.

Sucks I have Red Wings vs Preds at Bridgestone tickets in January. I'd rather just get a refund at this point and go visit someplace tropical.

Dude's been completely invisible the past 2 weeks....

I'd rather not see games with an entire AHL line and Oesterle playing forward. I think they would've needed 2 AHL lines if they played this game. The Wings are actually fortunate that the league is postponing games.


Also, if the league does the makeup games at the end of the season, then that means Vrana would get more games. That's a huge bonus.

We don't need to pause.

They can probably just reachedule games during what was supposed to be the olympic break, no?

Hard to know during prime-time Covid season.

lot of factors involved in rescheduling games. arena availability and travel logistics have to be a nightmare for the NHL schedulers

 

[Juha]

I think [POSTPONED] is going to be a great game. Really hope to see [PROTOCOL] have a great performance in that one.

Well [PROTCOL] has mainly been used in shutdown role recently, so we can't expect a lot of points from him.

 

[Oddbob]

Man alive, that is the save of the decade right there!!! Way to go Post Pone or Pony as I will call him. Brutal defence on Can Cellation, I hope he is put on waivers immediately!

 

[FabricDetails]

What she said.

Many arenas have booked other events during this planned break, so not that easy.
