Where i live you can get into a fight if you ask someone to wear a mask at the grocery store, home depot, lowes, etc. What happens when that person drinks too much? The arena where i watch hockey has nice ushers but they walk a fine line for what they can/cant say to ticket holders. it becomes confrontational sometimes and thats pre covid.

The only thing stopping me from attending games is the price of tickets. That's it. If its within my price range I will go.

I would have attended a game with a full arena during the height of the pandemic.

The demand for Ekholm is not as high as you think. Most of the teams that you listed would not be able to protect Ekholm in an expansion draft. So while Nashville may have sky high demands, few teams will pay that price for what will essentially be a rental. Nashville can likely get a better offer after the expansion draft.

As for Savard, I read this too...

If I'm able to ride un-ventilated NY Subway and the mayor took a ride on that subway to say it is safe, then it is safe enough to attend an arena.

Ek has to keep the lights on. Breast pump ads can only take you so far. I quite enjoy them myself. đź‘Ť

Where i live you can get into a fight if you ask someone to wear a mask at the grocery store, home depot, lowes, etc. What happens when that person drinks too much? The arena where i watch hockey has nice ushers but they walk a fine line for what they can/cant say to ticket holders. it becomes confrontational sometimes and thats pre covid.

What right do you have to tell others what to do? I don't blame them.

Sounds like a lovely area.

Why is drinking at the arena not usually a problem for the hundreds of other rules they enforce? Why ban smoking inside if people are drinking? Wouldn't that put ushers enforcing it at the risk of being brutally assaulted by an intoxicated fan who wants to smoke inside?

Big NO for me. And I am one of the unlucky people who contracted Covid all ready. It is absolutely NO fun at all. I wont go anywhere without a mask until I get vaccinated (AKA the tracking device put in my arm)
