NHL awards announced last night.  Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck wins the Vezina (best goalie).  :cool:

Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl wins the Hart (MVP)

And in other words, the Bolts strike back to even the series at 1-1.

So when is the new season gonna start? Have they made any announcments about that? Is it going to be in home markets? What about Canadian teams?

Bettman gave a press conference before the start of game 1.  Short answer is - they don't know.  They won't do a bubble.  In order to play they need the border to be open again, and they need some amount of fans in the stands.  Notionally they've said Dec 1, but that's almost certainly not happening.

Hmmm...maybe they'll get the season going at first by having Canadian teams only play each other. they sort of did something like that in MLS

it is amazing how little I care about September Stanley Cup. Hell it is almost time to start the 2020-2021 season.

It's funny - the games are being played 3 blocks from my current location, but because of the bubble there's really no local interest or excitement.

Maybe you should care because it's going to be a long while before more hockey is played after this.

Don't be so sure. NFL is playing, baseball is playing. Most others sports leagues are up and running. They'll figure something out.

Problem is most of the sports that are playing are played outside.  NHL also has the added problem of 7 Canadian franchises.

NBA hasn't announced plans for 2020-2021 either.

I think the NHL needs attendance but our close border & it's 14 days quarantine is a deal breaker.
