Games are set to begin on August 1. Eastern Conference games in Toronto, Western Conference games in Edmonton, with the Stanley Cup finals also in Edmonton. I hope they can pull it off and keep everybody healthy. It will be great to watch games on TV again! I've been watching way too much NOVA.
It's telling that the entire tournament will be held in Canada. Our management of the pandemic in the US has been so dismal that the NHL didn't want to risk holding the tournament here. Consequently, the NHL probably has the best chance of any major sport of successfully restarting this year.
