So I guess they're playing in multiple arenas in each of the hub cities?
EDIT: nevermind... the time difference between games from teams in the same conference is big enough to play in one arena for each hub.

Now time to make a show of it for a few games, get eliminated and draw first draft pick. A man can dream.

If Toronto wins does it count?

It’s Wool…
The break has been so long they should have cancelled the season. It’s just going to feel and be weird.

I don't disagree with you but I'm actually getting excited at the prospect of watching hockey on TV again.

I’m going to watch. I’m also sad that there will be a 5 second delay to control language.

Really!? Where did you hear that?

Do you know if that's for all stations or just some of them?

There was a really interesting article on the Athletic yesterday about that, using the odds the play-in teams would have at winning the Cup versus their (equal) odds of winning the lottery pick if they lost the play-in round, and which outcome would be more "valuable."
Mentioned in an Athletic article today, as well. The players will be mic'd up to get more ice-level sounds, so they'll need to filter a bit.

"Sam Flood, executive producer and president of production for NBC/NBCSN, said there will likely be multiple microphones put on players, coaches and referees during broadcasts, which should give fans a unique feel of the game’s iconic sounds (skates on ice, tape-to-tape passes) and the more colorful ones (trash talk, etc). There will, however, reportedly be a five-second broadcast delay to monitor that language. Local broadcasters, like the Lightning’s Rick Peckham, will be calling games remotely from their own arenas, with the sounds from the hub cities (and “home” adds) sent through a feed."

But what about Sportsnet here in Canada?

Not sure -- this was written by the Tampa beat guy. I'd hope with access to those mics they'd use it, though. I stream all my games anyway so I'm used to a delay. With no one in the rink it wouldn't make a difference.

Hopefully not. I remember the last few playoffs american viewers/censors were upset by the live mics, they really don't like swearing
Well five second delays are pretty common, your home cable and internet video feeds are already heavily delayed simply due to latency so honestly unless you're watching in a room with five different feeds from five different networks going you'd never know the difference.
Rogers Ignite being IP based already runs on a 20 or so second delay all the time...

Relatedly, my friend bought a mini projector that we're going to hook up to a super long ethernet cable and wire to either my deck or my backyard, and then throw up a bedsheet or whatever to watch on the railing or fence and watch the games (at least the Leaf games starting in the evening) socially distanced. Any of you guys got fun plans for the playoffs?
I'll likely watch from work in front of a 50 screen multiviewer. And if not then I'll watch on my projector screen in the party garage, or the 106" one in my living room, or the 125" in the new party basement.
