NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

LOL, as if injuries were not bad enough, add 5 regulars on to the protocol and Montreal is essentially icing an AHL team against Tampa.

9 starters are from Laval. At least two will make their debut.

Don't worry the league is bringing back the taxi squad

The following players have been added to the NHL’s COVID-19 Protocol List:

• Teddy Blueger
• Tristan Jarry
• John Marino

Jake Guentzel (non-COVID illness) will not practice today as well.

Ain’t no party like a protocol party!

Maybe to let the temps drop. Remember the slushy debacle last year? Maybe they’re just trying to get ahead of that potential issue.

The NHL has postponed nine upcoming games involving Canadian teams due to attendance restrictions throughout the country, the league announced Tuesday.

The NHL wants to avoid playing in empty arenas to protect revenue, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Makeup dates haven't been announced yet but will be played when spectator limits are eased or lifted. Here are the affected games:

DATE	MATCHUP
Dec. 31	Senators-Penguins
Dec. 31	Jets-Flames
Jan. 3	Maple Leafs-Hurricanes
Jan. 4	Canadiens-Capitals
Jan. 6	Canadiens-Maple Leafs
Jan. 8	Canadiens-Sabres
Jan. 8	Jets-Kraken
Jan. 10	Canadiens-Blue Jackets
Jan.10	Jets-Wild

Teams across Canada have implemented capacity limits in recent weeks as COVID-19 began to surge again. The Montreal Canadiens played one game in an empty Bell Centre before the league went on pause.

So nobody is upset that Hockey USA could not find someone slighty less racist ? They get rid of Bowman because of the Hawks scandal just to get this guy ?

yeah, check the Trevor Daley stuff

Kap, Lafferty and P.O. out now too.

Jesus, this is ridiculous.

(in addition to Blueger, Jarry, Marino, Matheson, Rodrigues, Simon, Joseph, Guentzel).

At this point Geno might be the healthy one.

I think the league should transition to 4 v 4 or 3 v 3 depending on roster availability.
