I guess at this point, teams might as well get creative, right?
That’s the word from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, who reported today that the Bruins are among 4 NHL teams “exploring [the] possibility” of playing their home games outdoors next season.
Friedman, who acknowledges that the plan is a “long shot,” says the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Bruins have all looked into whether or not they could play their 2020-2021 (really just 2021) home games under the winter sky.
We can get all of the “no fun” stuff out of the way first: this probably won’t happen, there’d be a whole series of city and state hurdles to jump through, etc.
