Jayson Tatum had 41 points and Bradley Beal with 53 today, so a very good day for STL/related sportsPlatinumBlues wrote: ↑Feb 24, 2020Today was a good day in St Louis sports with the BattleHawks winning their first ever home opener Blues beating the Wild and being inviting to the winter classic again. I love it when people doubt St Louis and it’s inability to support its teams.

SEATTLE -- Seattle's expansion NHL franchise is trying to make it easier for fans to get to its games in the traffic-clogged city. NHL Seattle announced Tuesday that it will fully subsidize public transit costs for fans with season tickets or single-game tickets.
Additionally, the team is entering into a partnership with the Seattle Center Monorail to upgrade the current system connecting downtown Seattle with the Seattle Center, where the team's arena is under construction. The team will invest $7 million for upgrades at the downtown station for the monorail system, which was originally built for the 1962 World's Fair.
The public transit subsidy makes Seattle the third franchise in the U.S. to offer that benefit to fans, according to the team. <more>

Regarding hub cities: Minneapolis is definitely out as of yesterday...and I'm sure they'll have one Canadian hub city, so likely Dallas, and either Toronto or Vancouver.
one infection or two or 3 wont ruin anything....its expected that people will get infected. testing 2-3 time a week will help them stay ahead of it and isolate those who do the positive.GoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑May 28, 2020The more I think about it, the more infeasible finishing the season sounds. Truly isolating 24 teams along with their respective support staff is an impossibility. People will sneak out to see their families, go to a restaurant, or whatever. It only takes one infection to ruin everything.
What happens when I player tests positive after playing in a game? With the close contact inherent to hockey, the entirety of both teams would need to be quarantined. Even if there is no further infection, that puts a ~14 day delay in the schedule. Good luck coming back from that.
I'm rooting for hockey to return as much as anybody, but I just don't see it working out.

These guys wanna play and none of them want to look like that dumbass from the NBA who came out and touched all the microphones and tape recorders in an interview as a corona joke...and then tested positive.
