Elliotte Friedman reveals the NHL's new location for games
With the NHL postponing games north of the border, there's been discussion of Canadian clubs finishing their season in American arenas. On the surface, it makes perfect sense: if a team like the Toronto Maple Leafs can't earn money at home, why not drive down the highway, cross the bridges, and finish the season in Buffalo, NY?
But Elliotte Friedman's alternative is also intriguing. Why not have the Canadian teams finish the run in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which has no capacity restrictions?
From Friedman's most recent 32 Thoughts column for Sportsnet:
''Interesting question posed by one executive: would any Canadian teams consider temporarily playing home games at the 15,000-seat SaskTel Centre, home of the WHL's Saskatoon Blades? Saskatchewan is still allowing full capacity at this time. Obviously, the NHL, the NHLPA and the province would have to approve.'' - Elliotte Friedman
I'm all for it. Could you envision a Saturday Hockey Night in Canada, It'd be electric.
