OT: Bubble hockey!
NHL re-start is officially official!
Pens-Flyers on NBCSN right now.
Habs-Leafs at 8 ET on NHL Network, followed immediately by Flames-Oilers.
For an in-depth look at what the bubble life entails, read this:
The league's attention to detail here is incredible. I was tempted to label it overkill, but then I remembered how badly baseball has begun.
I used to have a Super Chexx. Wings & Avalanche in a bubble & none of them got Covid. Traded it for an Arachnid Dartboard. Never heard back from those guys but I'm guessing they're sitting in a basement somewhere not social distancing.
Bubble hockey is so under-rated. An amazing game to play. Way better than foosball in my opinion. I used to play it as a kid at a Little Caesars in Clawson. And then, as an adult at the Lodge in Keego Harbor. Memories. But SuperChex is super expensive.
had many epic USA-USSR games just up Crooks from that Caesarland at the Thunderbird Lanes SuperChexx. I was fortunate to pick up a Carrom Sports (HQ-Ludington,MI) bubble hockey w/ working electronic scoreboard for only $50 from Craigslist. My twins started playing it when they were 5 standing on folding chairs in our basement. anyone remember bubble soccer?
That’s the one. It was a Little Caesar’s Family Fun Pizzeria, and eventually became a caesarland. Good times! Don’t remember bubble soccer, unless you are talking about the Detroit Rockers or Detroit Neon
Need to find my Trevor Francis jersey
It looks like they've taken all of the steps to provide safety to the players and club personnel in both hub cities as well as making them going into the bubble as comfortable for them, as well.
I can't wait for this to start and hope that they will be able to complete the season and have someone lift the Cup. Honestly, if they can't, no one will.
Let's go Rangers!
This (bubble life) was always going to be easiest for hockey of all the sports just by nature of how the game has always been (and really has been for years), with respect to time away from family and being isolated together as a team, particularly come playoff time. “Life in the bubble” could very easily have been the name for any playoff hockey documentary in recent years that NHL Network has done...
One of my favorite memes ever.
I would so buy bubble hockey and have you all over for drinks and a tournament but coronavirus
Can I be Team CCCP?
You already are. You already are.
NHL. It's a men's league.
I remember a post about a year ago about a M bubble hockey table modeled after USA-ussr that went on sale at Mden for $1k down from $2k.
was a tough one to say no to
NHL playoffs are going to be really weird without fans. There is nothing like watching playoff hockey and getting sucked into all the emotion and roaring from the fans. Everyone is always so on edge with every single shot on goal, and even the announcers get into it too.
In normal times, there is no more exciting postseason sport to watch than hockey. And then if you’re fortunate enough to get a game 7? Forget about it. That’s pretty much the same as a shot of adrenaline going straight into your body continuously for three hours.
I agree.
in watching some baseball and basketball without fans, it’s almost like watching the Olympics. Usually the crowds aren’t that into team sports at the Olympics, so you are really just watching and listening to the game.

I'm binging on this new thing called "televised sports"!
