Haven’t heard anything about that. I thought the taxi squads were already gone last year.

Just wondering if they extended it for this year.

I think they had them back for about a month, when whatever variant it was at the time was bad.

They did it to the All-star break last year

Lol, that must’ve been right after the Panthers had to scramble call up like 6 guys to ice a team vs Ottawa.
Taxi squads are cool for the team, but the players probably hate being stuck on one.

Unless there's a big breakout and if they didn't extend it doesn't sound like they are doing it.
Yeah I wouldn't like it, but atleast you are still getting paid.

I don't think the teams really like it either. Paying guys not to play.

Facing a brutal schedule. It's impressive.

A handful of teams still don't have 91 points.

Wild they get through these next 3 out of 4 (Jets) in decent shape they could run it after that.

Yeah cause he has been fabulous, in no way taking away from him or the team. Just shows how bad they really could have destroyed some teams.
