What? I want to know where we play and if arrangements will be made for Canuck games to be shown at a decent times for B.C.

Originally, "earlier", they were talking all out, all cities with baseball style schedules. Sets of home and away games.

I've seen it said we might play in Saskatchewan, maybe?

The season has been approved and the two sides have agreed on it. There are a few things to be worked out. We'll see.

I’ve seen it said the Canucks will be allowed to play in Vancouver, but teams from other provinces won’t be allowed so they will have to automatically default two points to the Canucks for all those road games.

I’ve seen it said there is a lot of push back on this plan, so they might have to make a new division with only the Canucks in it. The winner of the other divisions will play the Canucks for the Stanley Cup.

I’ve seen it said some people speculate too much.

I've kind of been thinking all along that BC and Quebec would be the potential trouble spots given their more meddlesome authoritarian political traditions. Of course Alberta is always open for business.

There's been a lot of focus on British Columbia health officials not signing off on #NHL's protocols, but hearing that province is not alone.

Both Ontario and Quebec have also not signed off for Habs, leaves and Sens to host games. Talks expected to continue early this week.

Given case counts an shutdown in Ontariario, I can see trouble looming for for the Sens and Laughs.

Fuck it. Let's just give the Canadian NHL teams 1000 doses of the vaccine to cover the players, staff and workers. Get it done, and get to playing.

And before someone says this is not a good use of the vaccine, trust me. It will save lives. Suicide rates, and the lesser tracked "Death by Rampage" numbers are a growing concern. Hockey prevents Rampages.

Regarding NHL players opting out from 2020-21: League "may investigate any circumstance ... that these provisions were intentionally used to, or had the effective of, circumventing the CBA" for salary cap purposes.

If people are going to commit suicide because the NHL is suspended, I won't miss them.
