When is the NHL just going to make these teams play home games in the USA like the Raptors and Blue Jays had to do?
 
Just drop Canadian cities from all pro sports leagues. ;)
 
Well the Leafs are rich beyond rich, basically the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL and the Senators basically lose money due to poor gate revenue, so they might as well.

Canada's healthcare system, as proud as they are of it, is severely under equipped for this pandemic. They have roughly as many ventilators in all of Canada, for example, as there are in the state of New York, did a poor job of initial vaccine procurement, and haven't invested in significantly improving either staffing or equipment in the interim.

If I were them, I'd want to take the show on the road and push the problems onto the U.S. systems. Furthermore, the players already got browbeaten into escrowing their earnings to offset owner losses due to lost gate revenue, so the NHLPA ought to want to do this too.

At this point, they are cancelling those games. The Jackets had a game at Montreal in the middle of January that's already been cancelled.
