13 start date for the 2020-21 NHL season, while not settled, appears like a go. Bubble or no bubble? What’s the schedule? How does it all work? … Bruins already have problems considering they lost Torey Krug in free agency, star David Pastrnak won’t be ready until February and Brad Marchand may or may not be ready for the start of camp.Ī few more hockey notes, mostly Toronto releated. I’m told the reason Zdeno Chara hasn’t signed with the Boston Bruins is this: he wants a full understanding of what this NHL season is going to be before signing on. I want to see the last of Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin. I want to see Victor Hedman and Elias Pettersson playing for Sweden. This could be the hockey tournament of our dreams.

Should Canada consider boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics in China?Īt this point in history, the answer should be yes.Īs two years have passed with Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig behind bars in China for reasons that remain mostly unexplained, Canada has been unable to find a diplomatic way to free them and get them home.Īnd much as we adore the Winter Olympics and occasionally dominate them - especially with NHL hockey players set to return after a single Olympic absence - how comfortable should any Canadian be while apparently innocent men remain in jail?
