Covid19 impacts 2021 season

[CHRDANHUTCH]

I’m just saying it makes sense flexibility and schedule wise. Boston will not have to travel to MSG after February if they play again on 2/15. I wouldn’t be surprised if the league considers it.

doubtful because they could shift the Islander game to that Monday

Islanders are playing the Sabres on Monday and it seems like the Sabres will able to play so we will see

Would be easier if players and their families us common sense then being told to limit going outside as much as possible.

 

[LadyStanley]

I believe this is first case in North division.

NHL announces updates to regular-season schedule

Seemingly dozens of rescheduled games

 

[TheLegend]

New Jersey opening up to limited fans,,,

 

[LadyStanley]

Not sure what was replaced

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Not sure what was replaced

might be weather rescheduledments due to the Texas weather the last 10-14 days

 

[LadyStanley]

NHL announces updates to regular-season schedule

More games changes, mainly central due to weather, etc. Plus a few start times moved up.

 

[LadyStanley]

Speculation over how league will handle 3rd round with North division team needing to cross border. Might require neutral home to play out playoffs if border not open. (In June)

 

[LadyStanley]

And...

 

[LadyStanley]

Sydney Crosby added to covid list.


A few weeks ago there were perhaps two dozen on the list. Then last week it got down to 4 players, league wide.

 

[LadyStanley]

Slowly, slowly

Frank Seravalli: Canada’s slow vaccine rollout could impact NHL’s bottom line next season - TSN.ca

Golden Knights kicked out of their hotel last night while playing in San Jose. The hotel was shut down without warning by the owners.

The Fairnont was the NHL’s designated hotel for visiting teams so there’s probably a scramble on to find a replacement to keep the protocols intact.


Golden Knights booted from San Jose lodging as hotel abruptly closes

 

[LadyStanley]

Sounds like there are handful of hotels designated for teams. Fairmont is/was one.

Other higher end hotels near arena include: St Claire/Westin, Hilton. Marriott, Hotel De Anza.

Just a quick question. Can I believe this source with the 2021 NHL Attendance? I can not find any other reliable source.

 

[LadyStanley]

Yes and no. You can get attendance figures from NHL.com/scores and other sites.

However, that number usually refers to paid attendance, not fans in the stands. Sometimes.


Read the small, fine print to understand what the number represents.

What is the most attended NHL game in the 2020-2021 season?

 

[LadyStanley]

1-on-1 with Bill Foley: Vegas Golden Knights owner expects 30% capacity by April, 50% by playoffs

30% in April? 50% by playoffs?

Previously Foley was quoted that 30% is break even on attendance.

 

[LadyStanley]

Santa Clara County requires 10 day quarantine even for false positive test results.

Compare that to Fleury's false positive, he was quarantined for ~36 hours.

Big competitive difference

 

[LadyStanley]

Golden Knights' Foley lists aid totaling $80M to navigate pandemic

Can only see headline and first paragraph. Foley raised/received $80m to help with expenses. Getting $600k gameday revenue

 

[LadyStanley]

Similar to what happened with VGK coaches out and HSK staff behind the bench earlier this season.
