Michael Hopcroft Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 The the NHL announging the full start to the season, realignment putting all the Canadian teams into one big, happy division, and the groundwork being laid for hockey in Seattle, The abbreviated 2021 season loks like it has a bunch of intriguing things that will be going on. Not to mention that hockey will still be played at other levels, in other countries, by other teams. Add all that up, and you have a rather difficult shortened schedule. I wonder if the new emercency alignment will stick. Right now, Canada is limiting and quarantining visitors from across the border, so the teams in the US can't play in Canada yet. In response to this, the league set up a Canadian division specifically for all the Canadian franchises while the remaining teams in the US are split into divisions largely by geography. And since teams will play regular-season games only against opponents in their division, the teams will get to know each other very well. As any hockey fan will tell you, to know your opponent is not to live them. So how are we set for sticks and stones pucks in 2021? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
