If the Covid doesn’t get the players the lactic acid will!

Feel the burn. Actually, based on this set up it will be game, day off, game, day off, Sunday off to confess playoff sins, repeat.

 

[BigFatCat999]

Do we have an official camp list yet?

 

[Gnashville]

Fun facts: The last time the Coyotes not only made the playoffs, but also won a series was 2012 against the Preds.

That one still hurts when I think about it. Preds had no business losing that series.

Another Fun Fact: both incarcerations of the Winnipeg Jets (Current and Coyotes) have made the Western Conference finals once each. Both of them Beat the Nashville Predators in the 2nd Round. Time for some Payback

We’re gonna lose. Getting the 1st OA would be fun though.

Gotta Cheer for the Penguins and Blackhawks for that to happen. Penguins get it if they lose followed by the Blackhawks.

All of the play-in round losers go into a draft lottery with equal chances at the 1OV (12.5%)

"Equal chances"... nudge nudge wink wink... was the point...

What jail did they play in?

What jail did they play in?

Winnipeg

 

[triggrman]

Winnipeg

Well played

 

[Gnashville]

What jail did they play in?

Autocorrect and I did not catch it. “Incarnations”

 

[Gnashville]

"Equal chances"... nudge nudge wink wink... was the point...

Yeah Nothing funny will happen just a normal draw that the Penguins win. In 2004 Everyone had a chance at Crosby, and The Ref totally lost sight of the puck in Game 6 of the 2017 SCF

 

[BigFatCat999]

Well played

*bows*

I think I've been to 16 NHL cities? +/- 2, say, since I buzzed through the list really quick. Winnipeg is one place I've never come close to. All the negative PR it gets actually kind of makes me want to go there and see if it's as bad as the rap would suggest.

 

[hockey diva]

Winnipeg is a nice mid sized city. Similar to Nashville before we became the It city. It doesn’t have a lot things to do per say but I enjoyed my trip there last year. Except for the game it was a stinker.

 

[BigFatCat999]

With teams in the hotels, I would love to see an NHL pie fight ala Blazing Saddles.

Which classification are the Preds?

 

[BigFatCat999]

Which classification are the Preds?

A) the schedule is my guess.

B) I'm "assuming" that because of the Preds playing Aug 1st it will be Aug. 1st, Aug 3rd, Aug 5th.

 

[BigFatCat999]

August 2nd, we're back!

How disappointing would it be to get swept? All of this time off and build up for just four days of hockey.

and get a 12.5% at #1....look we went from, 'We are losing the season.' to 'we got games!' In my mind, this season was a redeemed sunk cost.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I skimmed through the MOU this morning. It sounds like the Opt-Out clause doesn't have any attached neutering for next season after all? So that's a plus. Players now have until Monday to opt out of the return to play, with no penalty attached.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

I wonder if there is a "built-in" advantage to this tournament to teams that are in relatively safe cities during the pre-bubble training camp phase? Especially for Toronto and Edmonton, say, where not only are they in safer Canadian cities to begin with, but they also don't have to face any additional travel risks while getting to the bubble.

Based on the announced test results so far of 35 cases out of 396 reporting players, one could imagine that some teams are going to start the tournament with players out of the lineup and quarantining. The odds of that happening if you are, say, doing training camp in Florida... or Arizona!... these days has to be greater than doing it in Edmonton, right?

Travis Hamonic has opted out for Calgary. I suspect he wont be the only one. Holding my breath until Tuesday.
