NHL Eying 4 Cities To Resume Play In? Edmonton? Part 2

[Stoneman89]

They have museums, night shows, Grand Canyon tours. Great buffets and restaurants oops.

If everyone involved is supposedly isolated during the playoffs, why does it matter what happens outside their little cocoon? They will never see the light of day until their team is eliminated.

Horgan and Kenney are starting to remind of two brothers who want to ask out the same girl to the dance

Just make the two hub cities Edmonton and Vancouver. Problem solved. Honestly. These two cities should check every box and once the initial 14 day quarantine is up coming into Canada quarantines no longer become an issue.

Supposedly they will be arranging golf outings, etc for the teams.

So much for the isolation, etc they were promising. Cracks appearing all over this plan. Everyone else stay home and inside. But the privileged get to go out and do whatever they want.

You can go golfing right now...

The statement was golf, ETC. What does that mean? We have golf here. The ETC part in Vegas can be much different than it is here.

Well I assume it’s nothing crazy. Things are opening up quite a bit Friday.

Team wins in Vegas - Night out at Spearmint Rhino

Team wins in Edm - Night out at Chez Pierre

I guess the entertainers will have to be quarantined with the players as well

The golf course would be secured for only the players and I assume quarantined staff to use. Edmonton's bid also involved a outdoor movie theater. I'm sure they will have other outdoor options but they will all be inside of their bubble.

Bringing in players families involves too many people so the players negotiated that they can bring one mistress instead.

????

You’ve been able to golf for a month. The stay inside orders have been obsolete since Phase 2 was announced. Have you not watched the news or ventured past your front door for the past month?

Edmonton's pitch included golf and other activities for the players that would only be open to the NHL. I suspect Vegas would be working with all sorts of companies and attractions to try do the same thing.

That actually is fairly cool. Wait till it hits 124F in mid summer.

The only saving grace is that weather actually starts cooling a bit come August.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is Vegas and Toronto. The NHL owes Vegas and this is their repayment, giving Vegas literally home ice advantage. And we all know the NHL suckles on the Toronto teet given any opportunity and will want the Leaftard fanbase revenue with the Leafs home ice advantage. I would not be surprised the Leafs get favourable reffing the entire way as the NHL needs the Leafs revenue streams more than the Leafs need the NHL right now.

Last time I was in Vegas it was February and my pasty Albertan ass couldn't believe how goddamn hot it was, it got up to 36 when I was there. When I had friends tell me it could get up to 45 and hotter I could barely process that information.

I wonder if the Oilers will hold camp in Bakersfield or something like that so players do not have to quarantine. Especially if the games are going to be in Vegas, get the players acclimatized to playing in a hair dryer.

Why does the NHL owe Vegas? I've seen you post this a few times and I assume it's in reference to the playoffs last year. It was a shit call, but for the love of God an NHL team should not give up that many goals on a PP.

Vegas should be happy that the expansion draft was set up to give them a competitive team out of the gate. Look at Ottawa, Anaheim, Florida, Columbus and Minnesota's inaugural rosters. Plus they didn't have extra 1st rounders from teams making side deals.

I get why the league would push for Vegas and Toronto. I don't like it, but I understand. There's obviously some big money involved.

Good, finally. Let's get going!
