Serenity now!
it's a little annoying on the days when the weather is good to have 4pm start, but today it's perfect
What would be even better if there was no game at all

Canucks have played very well with the adversity that their blueline has faced...I don't think they stand a chance tonight with only 2 quality d-men on the ice.(and OEL looks like he's still trying to get up to speed).....The Leafs have players out as well, but haven't been hit hard in one position...Canucks are also not getting a team that is on the second half of a B2B, like a lot of the teams on this last homestand...Leafs have been hanging around Vancouver the last 2-3 days.
I'll be cheering them on..but I don't see a Canuck W tonight.

Postponement is the only thing that makes sense. Shame this is happening, was really looking forward to staying my parents with this game on their TV and getting sauced on mold wine.
Good. Everyones worried about facing Matthews but the return of Loui Eriksson is the real threat

..and to think that they will be packing off teams to take long haul flights to play in China..?...Sounds ludicrous, as well as reckless imo..

I think they should suspend all games to after Christmas. Things are getting crazy again! Give it a week (or more).
I know but still it is HNIC vs the 1st place Leafs and the Canucks are riding a hot streak.

Postponing the game is definitely the right call. They need to send everyone home to isolate for like a week and see who starts testing positive. The whole team has had "close contact" with infectious people. If they don't purge the virus now it could bounce around the whole organization. There's people that are at high risk of sever illness in that team bubble and they shouldn't be taking chances to avoid the inconvenience of changing the schedule.

Sportsnet feels Toronto has a challenge due to covid not the Canucks lol typical bias crap.
With four players in COVID protocol, Maple Leafs face tough challenge

Go Hawks!
I hope they get scrapped. It sucks for the athletes but I hate the IOC, and what better place to see get screwed over than China?
The Canucks having played more games than everyone might actually be an advantage now if there's a compressed schedule coming

Do they think they can stop the virus... Everyone is going to get it eventually and probably get it again and again until the world actually stops, nothing is going to change

Really good news about the postponement. It's insane asking teams to play with 1/3 of their team missing to COVID and also as infections are still clearly happening and spreading in the team.
