Will the Coyotes play this week? (20-27 Dec 2021)

[Hogan20]

Happy holidays everyone. Just a reminder, the Christmas break comes into play this weekend (Friday-Sunday) so no roster moves will be made then. Also, happy World Juniors to all that will be watching closely (@rt). Go Slovakia.

There’s a possibility of a shutdown coming.

Meaning bye bye Olympics since they’ll need that time to make up games.

Yeah, just saw someone on the main board posted Teravainen has leaked in Finnish that the NHL isn't going to Beijing. What a mess. Again.

Ass vuvuzelas ready for Slovakia

 

[Dead Coyote]

this is caused by all of you talking about being x% through the season, the season is never going to end now we'll be stuck here for 3 years, waiting for the season to end and draft to happen, in true coyotes fashion

Could this partially be a way for the NHL to weasel out of the Olympics? "We want to go but man look at these games we have to make up."

I doubt most players would leave to go play there. Get the vid in China and you’re stuck there for a month.

Scratch Tampa Bay now.

League and PA have agreed to stop operations between 12/22 - 12/25

Yzerman is right - just play through it, the players will be fine.

Not sure they're all that worried about the players, they could work something out with the NHLPA to get the players to play. It's the bringing thousands of people into a closed container that's the issue at hand.

It’s both.

Oilers ran into a situation where between players on protocol and call ups they had to dress than than the max because of the cap.

The Leafs had 10 players from the Marlies end up on the protocol a few days ago. I mean do we need to get where ECHL players begin to fill NHL spots.

The league and PA had to do something to avoid going through what they did the past two years. Nobody wants that.

 

[Hogan20]

Well, what do we do in the meantime? anyone got games on their phone we can play?

That's the only good thing coming out of this shut down stupidity.

 

[Jakey53]

Yzerman is right - just play through it, the players will be fine.

If that is what he said, he is 100% right. Finally someone starting to push back. Hopefully the players and management start to voice their dissatisfaction.

Listen to Fauci and wear masks. Stop living in fear. Enjoy your life.

Good for them. No sense in being there. A mess for sure!

The NFL saw the train approaching and quickly changed their testing and isolation protocol. The NHL should consider the same.

 

[rt]

They should just cancel the season. Award the draft position based on P% and do the regular lottery rules. The only thing we lose is the potential TDL returns of Kessel and maybe Boyd. We’ll live. Haha.

Better cancel the lottery too. Just out of an abundance of caution

 

[Mangosteen]

Ba ha ha watch them cancel the draft. Draft picks get converted to tax credits

NFL is looking at $$$$$$. The NHL has the break for the Olympics coming, and that could be a no go anyway. They could hault things for 3 weeks and still have enough room in schedules to make it all up, assuming the Olympics is a no go.

More or less, he said it. Probably realized he was stepping in it and walked it back a little.

It’s a common sense position - which is dangerous in Covid times…

Olympics are already confirmed to be a no-go for NHL players.
