Hong Kong was clobbered.
Hong Kong to review post-storm arrangements after typhoon chaos
Shenzhen had to clobbered as well
Story in a Beijing newspaper
Skating into Chinese mainstream - People's Daily Online
Cheered by an announced crowd of 12,933 on Wednesday, the Bruins completed a sweep of the China trip with a 3-1 win over the Flames. And even though thousands of fans left after the second period－presumably believing it was a two-half game－the remainder cheered loudly whenever there was a big hit, a scoring opportunity or a great save.
According to Tencent, NHL's digital media partner in China, the number of simultaneous online viewers for Wednesday's game reached 300,000 in the third period, up from 65,000 during last year's Beijing matchup between the Vancouver Canucks and Los Angeles Kings.

Superb write up Kevin, welcome back!Now that I am home some final thoughts on the trip.
The problem with the equipment at customs in Shenzhen really screwed up both teams and it never should have happened. The theory is a local official in Shenzhen was expecting an envelope that they did not get.
The second snafu with equipment leaving Shenzhen was because of the typhoon that hit the city the following day. I was put on that flight after the Saturday game because of NHL wanted all of us out of there.
Internet access all depended on setting up a VPN in the US before going to China. I have a VPN from Xfinity that you need to push for as they don't make it readily available but what it does is mimic my home network. The Chinese don't care if I have full access to the net they only want to block their own citizens. The most important thing was always connect by WiFi as using a Chinese telecom could result in astronomical bills.
China is primarily a rural country except for the megacities and believe me the megacities make New York City look like Buffalo.
The NHL told us in BOLD LETTERS not to rent a car but to use a rideshare app called DiDi and I had no issues with them.
Their subways and train lines are so advanced from what we have in North America it makes me
One thing really stood out - When talking to locals that spoke English, when I said I was from Boston they all replied Harvard or MIT.
That did not surprise me as being a Cambridge native, every summer hundreds of tour buses from New York would arrive in Harvard Sq to give tours to Asians.
One final thought - seeing Boston and the capital of North Korea on the same departure board was strange.

India has pretty much the same population in a territory that's one third the size of China.

Bettman might be kind of a nerd but he is a lawyer and has done nothing but make the NHL coin since day 1..He is a cash expert

everytime I see this thread, I picture Fenway in a puffy orange vest, standing outside of the Quick Stop, giving us a one-minute synopsis of how it went down. insider.
