It would seem improbable that the NHL will continue. I'm surprised NBA didn't give chance for playing with empty arenas, but they have a player that tested positive so what could they do?
It's a conversation that likely would get out of hand and doesn't belong on a hockey forum so I'll just say I'm glad it seems like people are just making the best decisions they can to keep everyone safe, and selfishly, hockey has been a nice distraction. I was hoping the empty arena solution would work, and who knows ... maybe they league will give it a shot. If that's not the safest or best option ... I totally get that.
