Yup. Has the NHL been asked WTF? Would love to hear their justification for delaying the playoffs for the North because of these games nobody cares about.

I said it yesterday. They had to schedule the playoffs at some point. 29 teams besides Calgary and Vancouver had to make plans, many of them requiring ticket sales. Both Calgary and Vancouver were still in the running for 4th in the North when they finally announced the schedule. Basically, they had no choice but delay our games.

The other thing about the Quebec restrictions is the Premier said as long as 75 % are double dosed but everybody in my region has been told their second dose isn't scheduled until some time in August .

Huh, that makes sense I guess, thanks for the info. Too bad they couldn't have waited just a little bit longer, oh well.

It's 75% of the population with a single dose. As you say, most of us won't be getting our 2nd dose here in Quebec until mid-July through August. I am holding out hope that those dates advance. I like the plan, essentially it reads like, hey here are all the things you have have... if we are at 75% vaccinated. So it's on us.

Again 2500 fans, in that enormous building is peanuts, and would not have any effect on the outcome of a game. Hell, I am only 2 hrs away.... I might have to get in on some tickets if this pans out. Wonder if I could get a section to myself?

The number is in 80 percentages, as its 75% of population, as kids won’t be vaccinated yet, 12-17 age group not sure when Pfizer is available to them.

I'm very happy Bogosian is in.
I like Dermott alot; but stylistically Sandin and Bogosian could be great. Rasmus has a little bit of "something else" that Dermott doesn't have. Bogosian will promote it, cover and make the team stand a bit taller.

No, but it would be very easy to run around if Habs fans start to chase you.

No, both teams were eliminated when the North schedule was announced. It doesn’t even pass logic that they scheduled a Montreal vs Toronto playoff round, if the other teams weren’t eliminated.

So you think they developed the schedule for 16 teams, many of which that had to organize ticket sales in like a day?
