Brad Burud from the Inside Edge Hockey News is ready to rant his opinion on this topic. Yes the owners want to make money!! So do the players!! That is the entire object of the NHL.

It looks as though we just may have our wish hockey fans. It looks as though NHL hockey will be back. The owners and players have reached an agreement on a return to play plan. YES! Hockey will be back -- so what could be wrong. What if a player says "I don't want to play".... What who would do that? Well leave it to Radko Gudas...I have a solution -- don't play!

The horrible Coronavirus has shattered normalcy for literally everyone in this world. It is scary and the times are uncertain. But sports are still a very important part of society and daily living (I think many of us have truly learned the extent of that during this quarantine). I want the NHL back. I want it back bigger and better than ever...I won't take any game for granted. The question is when is the right time and is it...

Life without hockey. It is not fun but in reality it is a small sacrifice to make for health. The Coronavirus has swept across Canada and the United States, and social distancing is in full swing. All sports, schools and sadly many businesses are now closed. As much as I miss sports I understand the magnitude of this and the fear is real.

With the recent injury that left Johnny Boychuk with 90 stitches to his face, I ask the question. Is it time for the NHL to make full masks mandatory for all players. We never thought helmets would be required, We never thought visors would be required? But they are..... Is it time to take it a step further?

The Battle of Alberta has the grit and fire back. One incident has sparked chaos. When Zach Kassian rag dolled Matthew Tkachuk the hockey world went crazy. Some in favor of how Matthew Tkachuk handled the situation, but way more in favor of how Zach Kassian handled the situation. Do fans really think Kassian is in the right. Its ok to punch a non willing opponent 10 times in the head. It probably was in 1980 but in 2020? Th...
