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 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.
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.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
