Hope the staff doing the testing are also tested daily. They’re the link between everyone.

Has it been confirmed anywhere, who is playing where?
Are the East teams playing in Edmonton, and the West in Toronto to avoid any home ice advantage concerns?

This is going to be weird. The most Coyotes thing ever would be to win this Cup and miss the playoffs the next 8 years

What he meant to say is the Coyotes have home ice in this tournament with the building remaining empty throughout, giving them a strong chance.

Calling covid upper body isn't really a lie though

The tentative Finalized return to play memorandum of understanding reminds me of countdowns online to when the date will be revealed for the teaser trailer debut for an upcoming movie.
It's a lot.

Watching NHL playoff games with no fans and zero atmosphere is gonna be so bizarre.

Like watching a Panthers - Coyotes preseason game at noon on a Tuesday. But it’s going to be so damn delicious.

No way a bunch of NHL hockey players are cramming into the hotel fitness centre, let alone multiple teams within the same hotel.
Also, with the NHL able to move games at any time, I could easily see Calgary being a plan B option -- at least for games.

For the arena aspect, they could make use of the concourse.
I presume they are taking over an entire hotel (or two) in each city. I imagine they could convert some meeting/conference rooms to gym facilities, too. Though I imagine they will also be using those spaces for food service, and perhaps even each team sets up a video room/team meeting room?

Since the other teams in the bubble are being tested daily they should let them sit behind the benches and mercilessly harass the teams that are playing.

Only concern I have in a Canadian city is there will be some fans going to these practice arenas or trying to get close to the players (I'm looking at you creepy oiler fan art person).

I've mentioned this before, but wrestling has been going for a while with no fans now and that is a form of entertainment where their entire purpose is to get reactions from a live crowd. They've started using their own talent now as "crowds", but Wrestlemania was done with nobody but the performers, refs, commentators and camera crew; and while it was bizarre at first, I really got used to it quickly
