So the NHL season ended before the NBA season yet they plan to restart it after? I'm expecting a 48 game season, which they've done twice since the 90s, and then a regular 16 team playoff.

NHL doesn't have the same influence over media & marketing decisions the NBA has. I'm still not certain how they'll treat COVID-19, the Canadian division/schedule thing is a consideration, as is having 2-3 game season series like baseball schedule.

So if it starts on New Years - we're getting 'The Winter Classic' or no?

Would be awesome if we had numerous Winter Classics.

Been calling for this for years - too bad we can't have a lot of fans though

For instance - you do Flyers/Penguins at Penn State's huge stadium

Detroit/Chicago at Michigan's huge stadium

Rangers/Islanders at Yankee Stadium

Maple Leafs vs. Canadiens at (I have no clue what outdoor venue is popular up there)

etc etc

You do this all throughout Canada/The U.S. for New Years Day

Would be a big giant party and event for the NHL and their fans
