Game has been cancelled

Guessing they are back on the 1st

This is getting f***ing annoying

MOVE ON

Game is cancelled

How is that possible?

The NHL will be back on the 27th simply because they need to ensure every team gets 82 games and they’ll do everything they can to make sure that happens. Leafs will be playing on the 27th.

How is that possible?

i was wrong about the leafs playing, but the NHL is back. So 50% wrong! Only 3 games (1 leaf one included got postponed). You or or whoever said they’d be shut down for 6 weeks, which isn’t going to happen

Sigh. Time to load up the 93 playoff run and drink myself to sleep.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Well…another game cancelled. Really looked forward to this but kinda new it wasn’t gonna happen. January 1st seems like that’ll be the leafs first game back…

can’t believe it’s been what 2 weeks since the leafs last played…man has time slowed down

You do understand the Leafs don’t have enough eligible players on NHL contracts to ice a full lineup right?
It’s not even a matter of cap space they just don’t have 20 healthy bodies yet.

The thing is they probably do, but unlike the NFL, the NHL is testing players with no symptoms.

I'm willing to bet if the NHL didn't test players with no symptoms the Leafs would have enough players.

But they do so the Leafs don't

NFL has more to lose through game cancellations than the NHL which schedules 82 games per season.

I think it is widely accepted at this point that the NHL protocols are better at slowing the spread of Covid as the biggest spreaders are asymptomatic people with high viral loads.... who are not being tested by the NFL.

NHL wasn't back on the 27th.....you were 100% wrong. I was 50% wrong with the 6 week prediction.

2 days wrong, league is literally starting back up on Wednesday, You were wrong. League was never postponing for 6 weeks. Was a horrible take from the jump.

 

[Griffin76]

I'm guessing/hoping they meant that covid in general needs to move on.

 

[TMLAM34]

Hopefully their game on Saturday will be played. We should have enough players back from protocol at that point.

I predict yes.
