Avalanche games postponed through Tuesday due to COVID-19
Avalanche shut down until at least Wednesday
Avalanche shut down until at least Wednesday
And the players agreed to this before the season so what's the point here?Even after the virus is gone there is still a ton of lingering effects. If they play a game now, they will get blown out from being no where near the physical performance of themselves prior to the illness.
I cannot find the answer but perhaps someone knows what's going on.
With Vancouver's previous COVID-19 outbreak, the North Division schedule is the only division that plays beyond Thursday, May 13. On Friday, the Leafs play the Jets while on Saturday the Canucks play the Oilers. Following that, the Canucks play Calgary 3 times and these two teams are only teams playing the regular season.
Given both Calgary & Vancouver will or have already been eliminated from contention, Edmonton is essentially locked into the #2 spot in the North, would it be possible to:
1) simply scrap those last three or four games by the Canucks and then calculate all teams by point percentage. Edmonton would then have played 1 fewer game, Calgary 3 fewer games and Vancouver 4 fewer games.
2) allow those three games to happen simply from a points standpoint but then allow the qualified North division teams to start their playoffs simultaneously?
I'm aware the other divisions may start their playoffs before the North division is wrapped up, but I don't see why the North division can't start their playoffs soon after.
Vaxed teams get loosened restrictions
PA's governor stated that all restrictions, except for masks, will be lifted at midnight between May 30 and 31, so the Penguins could potentially have 100% capacity if they are playing on or after Memorial Day. (Governor hasn't yet addressed the latest statements by the CDC about masks)All restrictions in Massachusetts lifted in Massachusetts on May 29
Fenway Park and its vendors are informing employees today that they will be operating at 100% capacity beginning next Saturday, May 29.
Bruins will also be at 100% IF they make the second round.
all states are, not just MA, royals, per CDC ..... the question is how do businesses enforce it.....PA's governor stated that all restrictions, except for masks, will be lifted at midnight between May 30 and 31, so the Penguins could potentially have 100% capacity if they are playing on or after Memorial Day.

that's the question states are now dealing with, MNN, is the enforcement end....This is not correct. CDC is an advisory only organization. They have no power to actually make 'rules'. They can only recommend.
States and local municipalities still have the right to mandate masks if they wish. And, of course, as you say, private locations can make their own rules as well.
