Zat posted:Maybe they're just synchronizing it with NHL's tentative plan which currently says December 1 (which is optimistic as hell but also definitely the earliest it could humanly be for the NHL). The NBA is already considering next season in a bubble, there is no way in hell a december restart is feasible for a league that relies on gate revenue as much as the NHL

The idea of being the MLB but with testing for the next season doesn't strike me as particularly viable either, but I figured it's get through what's left and figure the rest out later.

it's honestly gonna continue to take some doin' to get a bunch of Canadian, Scandinavian and Russian white dudes that grew up in privileged hockey academies to even begin to understand or care about this stuff in the same way the NBA or NFL player groups do. oh yeah and not to mention the robotic uniformity and reluctance to "rock the boat" or take an individual stand in any way that's ingrained into the hockey culture. the NHL is perfectly vulnerable to being appropriated politically by dipshits like Trump because of this. goldrush fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jul 31, 2020 |

Less than 2 months later , basically nothing has changed.

If Bettman can pull off anything close to this sort of "yeah I'm a heel, and I love it" attitude then I'd begrudgingly like him for a minute. Heck he'd solidify his place as 2nd best commish of the 4 major sports.

There should be a “ref you suck” button that a coach or team captain can hit when they think the call is bad and have it flood the arena with chants for 2-3 minutes. But it’s like a coaches challenge, you don’t want to blow your chant too early or you might not have it for a lovely boarding no call in the third period.

yellowcar posted:same but with that audio from that legendary chirping tavares got in his first game against the isles This is still hilarious and reminds me of how badly I wanted the Isles to stay at Nassau forever and a "No Free Vodka/Dental" chant when Panarin came back to Columbus. e- It's even better from the crowd POV. There's a dude at about 1:10 wearing a Leafs hat, which didn't seem right when he was chanting along with the Isles fans until I saw he had a pacifier and Teddy Bear and realized he went all in on the Baby Tavares thing.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFP3Wdt0ezU CBJSprague24 fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jul 31, 2020 |

https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/nationals/report-mlb-internal-investigation-confirms-marlins-players-failed-follow-safety-protocols Here’s what happens with no bubble. I gotta hand it to the NHL, their method seems to be working so far. I still think some knuckleheads are gonna screw it up, but we’ll see. The NFL is hosed though...
