With our country and the rest of the world still grappling with COVID-19, the sporting world has rightly taken a backseat, including the Vegas Golden Knights.
There is a hope, however, that hockey could return this year with the NHL desperate to crown a Stanley Cup Champion.
That is understandable for a number of reasons, including the fact that sports is a welcome distraction and a source of hope for many people.
Furthermore, a cancelled season including no playoffs would severely hurt the NHL’s bottom line and could impact future seasons, starting with 2020-21.
And days like today hammer home the fact that the NHL is on lockdown with the Stanley Cup Playoffs slated to start tonight.
