I can't find a report citing the actual number of Blues infected. Anyone here come across it?

All I saw was a tweet saying multiple cases.

Won't take many more outbreaks before the NHL kills this restart idea. Although, it happened to a US based team, so maybe this isn't a deal breaker. America is practically a cesspool of corona right now. The optics for all the major sports leagues trying to restart this summer is looking pretty bad.

This.

I'd hardly call it an outbreak. 2-5% of the general population tested test positive. Only natural NHL teams are reflective. That this was based off the first test right? Qtine the positives, and move on. They're testing every few days right?

But the general population doesn't have a profession where close physical contact with intense physical exertion (and as a result, lot's of heavy breathing).  I can't help but think the chance of spread is monumentally greater for athletes in team sports vs the general population.

I still have zero belief that any of the team leagues can finish, or perhaps even re-start, their seasons/post-seasons.

Sure, I understand that. But if you're testing, and weeding out the positives to begin with, and put the league in a bubble, theoretically it should work. Now that's not to say humans will fuck it up, not follow the rules, etc...

Positive tests now, are to be expected, but once the team enters the bubble, it should work.


My shock comes in that the NHL and NBA are so intent on finishing this season in the first place. They're really trying to cram this through.

I think they'll be fine this season, in a bubble and extensive testing. But next season will be a real challenge. No chance it'll be in a bubble.

I must say, in a way, I'm kind of proud to be a hockey fan. They seem to have a pretty sound plan for this year, but to be able to hammer out a 4 year CBA extension? That's amazing.

Has Donald Fehr been born again? :lol No way this is the same dude that ran baseball's Union.

Fehr probably sees the writing on the wall in terms of the medium range impact of covid on the hockey business. Next few years would not be a good time for labour disputes about money.

What's kinda funny is that the hotel the bottom 6 teams will be staying at, the Sutton Place, isn't even that nice. The JW Marriott the top teams will be at is 10x nicer :lol

I think the only reason they choose the Sutton was because it's 2 pedways from the arena (vs the 1 for the JW), so they can completely isolate the teams from the outside world. Be a 5 min walk to the arena.

Seattle Kraken... It's official. what's the over-under on people who call the arena the Krak House versus the Climate Pledge arena? 100:1? Heard some local people calling it 'The Pledge' which is cool I guess, if you want to give the impression your facility is dust-free with a lemony scent.

Oh gosh.  The Krak House.  You know people will refer it to that rather than the actual name of the arena.  If the SAP Center is referred to as the Shark tank at times, there's no way that Seattle arena will not be called the Krak House, home of the Seattle Kraken.

As for the new franchise, well, another team in the Pacific division.  Fun......  However, I think the Coyotes are moving to the Central division to balance the divisions right?  At least, Vancouver would have a relatively close rival team to probably form a rivalry with?

Yup...the Yotes will move to the central division with Minnesota, Chicago and Winnipeg.  Because, of course you want them in a division with teams that are 1,500+ miles away instead of with teams that are less than 400 miles away!


Also, team names that are not plural are stupid.

Also also, the Seattle Kraken will play games attended by the Krakheads, who drive through the Krak Pipe (i.e., the Highway 99 tunnel) to get to the Krak House.  Utterly moronic.

This. The West has always been more spread out than the East. And let’s not forget that the two Florida teams are in the same division as the three Eastern Canadian teams as well as Boston, Buffalo, and Detroit, all six teams being well over 1,000 miles away from Tampa and Miami.

Having only four divisions for 32 teams is dumb.  Go back to the six division format:

Western Conference
Pacific Division:  Los Angeles, Anaheim, Phoenix, Vegas, San Jose
Northwest Division:  Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg
Central Division:  Colorado, Dallas, St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago, Minnesota

You could, in theory, put Colorado into any of the three divisions in the west, and putting Colorado into the Northwest Division and Winnipeg into the Central might be better.

Eastern Conference
Atlantic Division:  Tampa, Miami, Carolina, Washington, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
Great Lakes Division:  Columbus, Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo, Ottawa
Northeast Division:  Montreal, Boston, NYI, NYR, New Jersey

From a geographic point of view, Pittsburgh makes more sense in the Great Lakes Division, but I put it in the Atlantic to preserve the divisional/in-state rivalry with Philly.

They did the divisions like this to preserve some big rivalries (NYR/PHI, PIT/WAS, DAL/MIN). I wanted the 32nd team to be in Quebec so Detroit could move back to the West and get back their rivalries with Chicago and Colorado.

Been waiting for this day. So happy my favorite city has a hockey team. I was a big-time Islanders fans in the late-90s, and when I moved out west, I stopped following the sport. I swore when Seattle got a team, I'd be all in. Well, here we are. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

I love the Kraken.  Both scary and fun.  Not thrilled with the navy but finally a top 4 sports team has ice blue!!! 

Intro music should be The Thing That Should Not Be. haha

Their AHL team was supposed to be in Palm Springs, but that's not looking good since the arena hasn't started construction.

Holy mother did you come up with that yourself? That is amazing! I had never heard that before! Except the tunnel is relatively new, and as such not taken over by the Krak Heads. They haven't migrated there from Pike/Pine. Yet.

Opponents shots off the Krak pipes is certainly making the rounds.....and I wonder who gets to be the Krakhead mascot.

I do love the uniforms.  Yea, a new team isn't wearing black for once!

As a Detroit Tiger fan, any team using an Old English font logo scores points for me.  I would have preferred 'Serpents' for a nickname, since it goes with the theme, and is alliterative.

While I came up with the sentence that included all of the "Krak" elements, I can't take credit for connecting a tunnel to the team.  I've only been to Seattle once and, while I did drive when I was there, I don't recall going through any tunnel.  Don't remember where I got it, though.

No matter what happens in this tournament I will always be left to think about ‘what could have been’ in this season. Blues were on a roll....winning 12 of 13 and had their game just thumping. Not saying it was a guaranteed back to back Stanley Cup but it was going to take a massive effort to beat them in a 7 game series.

Now, teams that were not even in the playoffs are in them.....the top teams get shafted by having to wait for a best of five series....so the team they eventually play has a nice minimum three game primer to knock the dust off and momentum for winning a series.....it’s a crap shoot. All it takes is a team getting hot and they could win it all. You can say that any year I guess but this playoff it’s even more especially true and significant given the time off.

Anyway.....I’m already lamenting what could have been simply because the ‘prime’ years of what could have been a multiple cup team have been torn apart by Covid.

Gary, don't fall for it. It's very difficult to repeat. When the Bruins won in '11 , they had a large core around 25 y/o. Sure they got back in '13, it's you have to have basically everything going for you.

Look at last year. Both the Blues and Bruins were gifted spots in the Finals. That ain't happening again this year, at least in the East.

Every champion looks like a multiple championship team. Look, the Sox with a very young core had the best record in baseball in '18 AND won the WS. They'll be lucky to go 15-45 this year.

I’m thankful and thrilled I got to see them win a cup and he’s now I’m greedy.......just ticked because they were looking tough to beat and now it’ll always be a ‘what if?’

I hear ya, and I feel for you... but like Tim said, don't do that to yourself.  in '93, the Bruins were 16-2 in their final games, 8-0 entering the playoffs, 2nd best in the league .... and swept by the Sabres in the first round.

It was a fiesty first period between the 'Canes and Rangers.  jingle.son was watching, and I watched for about 10 minutes.  Chicago/Edmonton should be a good one too.
