It’s a pandemic. We’ve all had it rough, and most of us have had to return to work without an army of professionals dedicated to our safety. You’re not going to be there forever, but you will have stories to tell for the rest of your life. So lean into the novelty.
A bunch of elite athletes sequestered for a spectator-less main event. It’s basically the plot of Enter the Dragon.
Except none of the players are trying to figure out “what’s really going on” and nobody’s turning up murdered.

For a young, non-parent hockey player - I agree. Any of the players that have young children at home are going to find this bubble life very difficult - and I don't blame them. Some things are more important than money: Seeing your child's first steps, birthdays, watching them change, develop and grow. When you have an infant or a toddler a few months is a very long time and you'd miss a lot of special moments that you can't get back.
