It may be even with NASCAR. But I think NHL will postpone for a day or two. Yep. Below NASCAR too. When our best player is making 12.5 and their average players are making double that it’s pretty clear where sports fans money is going in North America.

That their lives could abruptly be stripped away at that point. In all fairness there are issues that aren’t discussed when this is brought up. It’s too easy to blame the police for the disproportionate amount of minority arrests and shootings. Is it that much of a shock that certain minorities commit more crimes? What about the other relevant social issues such as socio economic class? Those in poorer living conditions, those that don’t have both parents or good parents? What about the teachers and family service workers in these neighbourhoods that fail some of these folks? When we have a first word country like Canada with the Indigenous and the blacks in the US that don’t even have running water, many don’t even have a chance. They can’t even fulfill their basic needs. Many of these folks also have extreme difficulties to also provide higher education and have dimmer higher employment opportunities. Yes, more blacks and Indigenous are arrested in each respective country but don’t blame the police. This is a societal problem that goes way beyond. 3 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolboarder Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If the NBA is resuming their playoffs tomorrow, I do not think that the NHL should postpone any games unless they reschedule for all games so that there will not be a back to back games. It is compressed enough as it is already is. I do not think the NHL would want to paying any extra expenses for more days on the bubble. If this comes out as a positives, the Canucks would benefit from this but I rather to see the players keep on playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Does Reaves want to play tonight? Maybe they're waiting to see what he does, then if he decides to sit, I assume the entire Vegas team will join him, and of course no game. They'd probably cancel the NYI-PHI game as well?
