Quote: IIFID said: How high did the NHL owners/management have to be to come up with the forked up plan they have? What a shock that StL wasn't included as one of the proposed "hub" cities...
NHL stood behind the city after the pr1ck took his football team away and gave them the All Star game. The city either rates for a hub or it doesn't but I do not think there was any kind of bias, the league knows it's a great hockey town by its TV ratings.
I assume either the hotel situation or the SCT situation with bookings or the COVID cases had more to do with excluding them than anything.
On the plan to come back, no way they were going to come up with a structure that every one would have liked.
The fans are out of any direct role now. It's up to the players to make or break this thing. The league needs the money bad so I'll support the effort, I just hope they pull it off and give it their all on the ice. It needs to go from very potential weird to a hard fought Cup run.
Hope it's the latter.
