Habs go ahead with U.S road trip
The Canadiens are going ahead with a U.S road trip even though a bunch of their guys are already out with “Covid protocol” and they’re bringing along a taxi squad of substitutes. Well, it can’t get much worse, can it?

I find it very strange with news items declare that such-and-such player is now “in the Covid protocol.” It’s some kind of weird Orwellian rhetoric unique to professional sports.

At this point you might as well just broadcast a match between two teenagers playing NHL 22 on an Xbox

EA already runs simulations of CPU vs CPU seasons and predicts the Stanley Cup winners:

Might as well take actual humans right out of the equation (even the teenage players)!

There were, and still are, some e-sport racing / motor sport series that ran through 2020 / 2021. Many of them were broadcast through the same established on-line sources as their real world counterparts were or would have been.
