“What we’re being asked to do is not going to be too safe.” If you haven’t heard about the situation the Vancouver Canucks are in regarding their current COVID-19 outbreak, it’s the worst any team in the league has seen this season.

It was a game that the Chicago Blackhawks looked like they’d finally woken up on time, got to the rink, and knew that the game started when it did. Then, they lost. The Blackhawks fell 3-0 to the Nashville Predators yesterday afternoon, dropping their fifth game of the season to the Predators and dropping two points behind Nashville in the Central Division standings in fifth-place.
