CBC reported this morning there are 5 fewer NHL teams, yet the league is trying to soldier on instead of responding to the writing on the wall.

Last year when pro sports shut down arenas and later didn’t allow fans in, there were games without outbreaks, despite no vaccines. Now we have a vaccine designed for a different generation of COVID-19, but no effective public health measures to handle the highly transmissible Omicron variant.
If pro sports are allowed to send the very public message that people are to keep calm and carry on in the face of their health system collapsing, we can deserve what we get from doing the obviously wrong thing.
UPDATE: The NHL has “paused” the season over the holidays.
Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff 
Homicidally foolish on the League’s part. No doubts of that in my opinion.
And I see that we had an overnight announcement since I posted earlier, cancelling cross-border games for the next week or so…?
