The Olympics in general or the NHLs participation? Yesterday, Teravainen leaked to a Finnish news station that the NHL is backing out.
Both really. But yeah that's what I suspected may happen soon.

The games missed will be rescheduled during what would have been the Olympic break.

Why is the NHL so bad at COVID?

Omicron appears to be a reason to rejoice, and is so infectious its going to burn itself out in record time and leave few places to spread. Its a great development.

Instead the NHL uses it to back out of the Olympics? Man **** the NHL...we know they begrudgingly send players as it is and this was just a small opportunity to sway the players union enough to get what they want.

Even their Covid rules were stupid if they were trying to do what they said the last year with travel and no border crossings....

Like those ******* in the NHL spread Covid quite a bit because they are idiots. A little schedule and travel creativity could have made the league both safer and more enjoyable last year.

COVID has exposed alot of weaknesses far beyond the NHL. They have few options. Personally I love Olympic hockey with the big guys, but I get it. I'd rather have the NHL for the next few months overall

I was actually going to go to the game tomorrow for the first time since pre season 2019...

I was also going to go to the game in March 2020 days after the season was postponed. What kind of luck is that!?
Thats tough luck.

This may just be a blessing. Cancel the rest of the season preserve the draft pick

Yes, with the way this season is going for the Hawks, I actually wouldn't mind this. I think I've hit my breaking point after these last 2 games.
