Lindy Ruff to be hired as Devils coach. Another retread.

A full 82-game schedule apparently.

Dec 1 is the new start of next season as per Sportsnet

Gives the finalists 6 weeks rest before camp starts

If they scrap the all star game and week off break , and maybe best 3/5 in round 1 they can get in a finished year by late June

That`s assuming a standard no hiccup season in your own venue

I dont think you will see fans til 2022 IMO and massive problems upcoming

You cant bubble any league for a full season

Currently re-reading my old copy of Lions in Winter, another fine Habs-related book. It finished off in 1986. Maybe a good thing.

Glad I kept a few old books around. Never thought the day would come when I would read or re-read them. No sports and libraries closed.....

They really need to cut down on the travel next season. They need to play 2 and 3 game series'.

do we know what the soccer leagues did ? bubble? travel? did players get the covid?

 

[GGpX]

I think it's more about what America did / is doing that is fucking things up more than anything.

A bunch of the big countries in Europe is getting a few hundred cases / day, which is manageable.

America's getting tens of thousands.

Heard on local radio yesterday he wanted to return to living full time in the US, preferably northeast near his family but had no takers.

I can see why, what with Canada rampant with COVID-19 and the US being so safe and all.

How's the situation in Florida? It looks like a mess from reading the news.

 

[Habsy]

Yeah it's a mess. My area is not too bad, people are now taking it more seriously but drive 15 minutes any direction and you see a lot of people not wearing masks etc. So stupid.

How’s Seattle / Wash state now?

It's more or less back to normal but with masks on. Well, reduced capacity everywhere. I'm still working from home until October.
