Saw that on ESPN. They were putting players through their paces against league rules established by the CBA. I think it was also discussed earlier in the thread, though not in much detail. You probably had your eyes on the Flyers game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

modogg 4,688 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 not sure why they cancelled for 2 days either. Seems more constructive to do something like host a skills competition or something, and every penny made from it goes to some charity, or police training or something. most NHL fans would watch, and some agreement would need to be established that all proceeds automatically go to someone. maybe all funds directly to a victim's family?

Seems like a more productive approach where something concrete could come out I think wanting to show all 8 remaining teams supporting the cause is the simple explanation for this. MLB has been kind of all over the place with some teams playing, some teams not and not deciding until close to game time in some cases (same with the first night of the NBA strike), I think if the NHL players decided were going to do it, this made sense, as well as the united press conferences in the bubble cities. The reality is they took a lot of heat for not cancelling games Wednesday and they took a lot of heat for cancelling games Thursday/Friday, they were never going to make everyone happy. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
