Sid gets to (potentially) play meaningful hockey on his birthday. That’s cool.

Soccer has been quite interesting without crowds, and I’d love to see how that would play out in the NHL. We don’t need artificial crowd noise.

I won't mind watching hockey without crowds or crowd noise. In fact I will enjoy it more than any other pro sport. I will miss battling for home ice advantage because there isn't any. On the down side, I just can't see hockey lasting without fans. Not enough TV revenue to survive. At least IMHO.

Don't you get the opportunity to make line changes last? I seem to remember that line matching was a thing in the finals 2008 and 2009?

So Jake is gonna be ready to go on Aug 1?

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Sun Jul 12, 2020 3:38 pm

I always assumed Jake was going to be ready. Have to be at or around the 6 month mark of his surgery

Apparently most teams have sent these out. Oh boy.

Postby **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:40 am

where's the "booing the team on their home ice" noise?

Postby **MR25** » Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:42 am

Are they showing these in arena?

I'd get a bunch of people (safely) and Stone Cold slam some beers so there'd be some levity.

I'm guessing it'll be similar to the NFL draft and they'll cut in these clips of fans "cheering" at appropriate moments.

9 players are being held out due to potential contact with someone who was exposed to a positive person.

Postby **skullman80** » Mon Jul 13, 2020 10:51 am

Just scrap the season.

Postby **meow** » Mon Jul 13, 2020 11:08 am

I have no issue with them being cautious here, but it is two people removed and contact is still "potentially". Hold them out until the tests result.

Postby **MR25** » Mon Jul 13, 2020 11:18 am

Apparently it's Hornqvist, Riikola, and the majority of the black aces, based on who is skating today.

Must've been together in the small group workouts and someone in that group had contact.
