For what it's worth, here's a TMZ article about how Aaron Rodgers is questioning the NFL's COVID-protocols saying some seem to be for "optics". Oooooooooo! Veterans!

The NHL should likely organize northern US teams and prepare them to play the Cdn teams. Then the other US based teams should split into 2 divisions and play one another.

Playoffs would be

US South/East/West Conference VS US North/Cdn Conference

Keep it as regional as possible until the playoffs.
It'll be a one off re-alignment either way.
That's my 2 cents.

Nahhh. That sucks newbie! Go back where you came from. jk
I think that makes good sense. Of course travel for the US S-E-W teams would be tough but it'd all be about how they get realigned. South East vs South West. Should be enough teams to pull that off.

Bs are present and accounted for. Thanks for the PM wake up, PPG!

The history of FNHL was straight up sad. I think the veterans left are PR, myself, Jonathan and DickieDunn. PPG is a relative newbie from 2012. lol

If memory serves, I think Jonathan pulled a nice signing from under the nose of the original commish Joe and snagged Ben Bishop. Jonathan, correct me if I'm wrong. That got Joe all crazy when he finally checked in and noticed someone had read the rules about MiLR players exceed the games played rule AT THAT TIME they were automatically FAs and fair game for anyone to sign.

We've even had drama with the likes of Drew, SlackJack and Daddy. I think Drew was one of the funnier stories. Bottomline, I think he was a university student from the smell of things. Then he graduated and had to live in the real world and suddenly didn't have time to juggle free time fantasy leagues.

All part of FNHL folklore.
