I believe the teams that didn't make the expanded playoffs can start camp on December 30th and the rest of the league on January 3rd.

That was my understanding too... I don't recall the exact dates, but teams that didn't make the playoffs could start in December and the playoff teams started in January
 
Kind of an insult to give a measly 3 days to teams that didn’t make the playoffs...

Hopefully the all Canadian division is a thing!

GO LEAFS GO

I'm guessing it will be. It allows Canada to keep it's borders closed (well, once the Americans and Euros get to Canada and quarantine for two weeks).

Remember the Jay's had to play in Buffalo because Canada wouldn't let them play in Toronto? This gets around that issue because the Canadian team can play a full season without ever leaving Canada.

Thanks! Personally I think our arena is getting a bit long in the tooth, it realy could use some renovations, but it's home. I came up there a few years ago to see Roger Waters at Scotiabank. That arena was something to see. With the money that flows up there, especially for the Leafs, you guys had the money to do it right.

The old Aud was just a place of legend, a very unique place. In always remember being scared when I was a kid and sitting way up high because it was soooo steep. Great memories :)

To be honest... it’s very hard to catch live games at Scotiabank arena (formerly ACC). The tickets are too expensive and just need to know a friend of a friend of a friend to get your hands on them.

My criticisms aside from not bringing a winning product to the ice is the arena is too well lit and cavernous. This makes everyone sit on their hands and silent. Not raucous at all and way to easy for opposition to play in.

When I’ve gone and sat in nosebleeds I worry that I’ll embarrass the person who gave me the tickets if I let my loud self get into the game. It’s become too bougey.

Le sigh.
 
Same feeling here, going to Canucks games feels like the trendy thing to do. Not much crowd noise. I feel out of place cheering loudly when it should be the opposite. The best Rogers Arena can do is the wave.
 
Haven't made it to SAP yet...
CBJ games are lit! Great area, building, fans, hockey.... The whole sport is blowing up all around the city.
No titles yet, but management definitely doing things right. Feels like its coming soon...

Loved that rink when I was in Columbus!

I wish, even for a few games a year, they would go back to the old style of shutting off the lights that aren’t above the ice. Maybe just nostalgia from my youth but the player on on stage light it like you would any other show.
 
Hey NHL fans, anybody want to join my fantasy hockey league? It's very last minute, but I had somebody drop out today and now we have an odd number of teams!

- It's on Yahoo
- We plan to draft tonight at 7:00 Mountain time (less than 3 hours!)
- $20 dues - pay the top 3 spots
- We've been doing this league for over 10 years - it's mostly friends of mine and people I've worked with that are hockey fans. Not serious, fun group of people.

Please let me know ASAP if anybody is interested!!
