Russell is gonna have to make an addition to his product offerings at Black Diamond Cat Trees. Or should it be Black Diamond Cat Tanks (TM)?

Hockey will happen in Ontario for one simple, overriding-all-else reason: Rob Ford will never, EVER tell TML they can’t play in Toronto, because (a) he is a Conservative (pro-business), and (b) he wants to be re-elected by the rural Leafers who voted for him the first time (big cities didn’t vote for him).

Full training camps will begin on Jan. 3.  The seven teams that did not participate in the 2019-20 Return to Play can open their training camps as early as Dec. 31. There will be no pre-season games.

Depending on the pandemic situation, I hope they mix it up for playoffs in rounds 1 and 2. Playing the same teams 9 or 10 times, then again in the playoffs will be exhausting.  If not, I wonder if they'll go with a 2-3-2 seven game round format.

NHL is back with a 56 game season stating Jan 13th. 

There will be 4 divisions each team playing only teams in their division 9 or 10 times.  When Canadian teams go on cross country trips, I wonder of they'll play back to back games in the same city to save on travel time and expenses.  I expect the 

American divisions will play other teams in their division 8 times.

I expect Ottawa to play Montreal and Toronto 10 times and the other teams 9 times. 

Calgary9
Edmonton9
Montreal10
Toronto10
Vancouver9
Winnipeg9
  
Total56

Playoffs will be a traditional 16 team, 4 round best of 7 format. No announcement on playoff qualifying rules or where games will be played the the border doesn't open up by end of season.
