With the increasing number of positive players in the NHL and the increasing number of postponed matches, there is a real behind-the-scenes look at the NHL that players are on the side of not participating in the Olympics. This is claimed by Pierre LeBrun of TSN.

“Nothing is official yet, but there is a real feeling that NHL players will not go to the Olympics. Given the postponement of the matches over the last week, it will come as no surprise that this will be the final decision. “ an overseas expert noted.

Colleague Craig Button agrees: “No matter how much the players want to go, no matter how much everyone wants to watch the NHL players at the Olympics, I think the chances of them going there are now zero.”

On Sunday, the NHL postponed another 13 games – 12 cross-border and one more Detroit. In addition to him, Calgary, Colorado, Florida, Boston and Nashville have postponed matches until the Christmas break, while Toronto and Montreal have suspended all team activities until the end of the break.
