Intense schedule. Excited for anything to watch but if it isn't safe I don't mind if they cancel it all.

Super pumped to have hockey back and getting to jump into the playoffs. My Avs are rested and ready to roll!
This will certainly be a memorable time in hockey, all teams rested and like thebtskink said, 6 games going is awesome!

I think that being a young team in this case of a long layoff will be beneficial. They don't need as many reps to get back into game shape and can make up for less talent with more athleticism. |

I like the logo and jerseys a lot! They are different and clearly well thought out. Only minor critique is they seem a bit like the Sharks in colour scheme but its still cool.

Yeah they did a good job with those. 32 teams in the NHL now. Let's not add anymore, there's enough as it is.

Yea I'm not the biggest fan of the color scheme myself but I def dig the secondary logo and the name.
But Vegas fleeced the league (for instance, we gave them a 2nd round pick so they would take flower and avoid... Carl hagelin - hindsight 2020 and all that but still, fleeced) on the expansion draft, no chance Seattle has it that easy. It's gonna be interesting to see which teams call their bluff and who blinks.

Exhibition games starting today!
With all that I hear they're doing with camera angles and sound, may be more video game than real hockey game.

Really strange first day overall.
The fanless aspect is just terribly jarring. And the piped in music, the prime time black live matter right before puck drop... All just was do stilted and strange.
The anthems with no one in the stands was one of the most insane things to watch. Just completely useless.

The anthems with no one in the stands was one of the most insane things to watch. Just completely useless. They're really going for the "production," feel, especially at the start. Game 1 for my Avs run to the Cup, fitting that their first game is against the defending champ, Blues! Leafs vs Jackets, finally get to see if the hype is true. There has been so much coverage about Nick Robertson, who played in my hometown for the Peterborough Petes. Kids pretty good but its just crazy how much pressure the media is putting on him amd I'm actually surprised he made the cut. |

Bruins were listless yesterday. Hoping they bring some intensity on Wednesday.

Bruins started terrible against the Bolts but picked it up a bit as they went.
If they play like they did in the second and third during elimination games, I'm less concerned than before.
