Habs likely paid Alzner to opt out.

Alzner opting out is the equivalent of Sven Baertschi opting out, neither of them were going to play.

I won't be surprised to hear of more injuries, especially groin pulls.

Long inactivity, accelerated training camp...

Umm, Mike Green was nothing more than injury insurance for the Oilers.

Klefbom-Larsson
Nurse-Bear
Jones-Benning

Green was the 7th guy once everyone got healthy. But I'm guessing you focus on McDavid when the Oilers are on TV.

By the way, the last few weeks have been pretty rough for me personally. First I spent big bucks on that virtual reality stuff you were suggesting. Then I bought tickets to Vegas hoping to get some player autographs after you said they were 100% certain to host. Then I bought an LA Kings jersey with the name "King Alex" on the back. Ouch. Is anyone a big fan of Alex Iaffalo? Brand new jersey for sale.

Not many time I agree with EK, but you have to respect the players decisions. No one truly knows their circumstances better than them. I give the players opting out just as much kudos as the one that are participating.

Hopefully things get better in the coming months and we can be there cheering them on in December.

the only risk the players have is getting covid themselves, they will be completely cut off from their families....what does that have to do with a sick kid?
Once their team is beat out, they simply quarantine for 14 more days and then go home....big deal. Since they will all be quarantined during the tourny, they will have less chance of getting it than going grocery shopping.

I am worried about stage 3. I believe quarantine is not so strict then.

It's cute Alzner thinks he's actually part of the team




Looking forward to the beefed up, rejuvenated and ultimately healthy Kotkaniemi

Covid has been here for months now....they should have polled players before starting this whole process.(playoffs)

Is it a surprise that they are playing now?

I'm sorry but in the real world when you make that kind of money and the boss needs you to be away from your family for 1 month or 2, you do it.

Stamkos injured.

I guess not everything is changing in this ever-changing world.

I submitted a video to ESPN wearing my King Alex jersey and virtual reality headgear. I hope it makes the cut.

I'm dressing up like Johnny Gaudreau wearing a Flyers jersey. Ek is lending it to me.

I think this would be a hell of a chant. It could be delivered in a Tavares monotone. Or better still, in a Darth Vader monotone. Unless Tavares copied his monotone from Darth Vader and they are one and the same, in which case it would not matter.

It could be played when the opposing team scores. I am sure it would freak the hell out of the opponents.

Tavares could play some Whitesnake songs.

Here I go again on my own
Playing with only the second NHL team I've ever known
Like a Hossa I was signed to bring the Cup home
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go agaaaiiin
Here I goooooooooooooo...
