NHLers from 24 teams woke up to a new reality this morning, officially beginning what they hope will be a long tenure in the bubble. EmmySadler rounded up the best quotes, photos and videos from players' first impressions of hub city life:
On Monday, it’s back to hockey as players and coaches get acclimated to life in an NHL bubble.
“I don’t think it’ll be much different, to be honest,” Ehlers said, adding that the players will be able to do the same things they’d typically do on the road like go for team dinners. All the strict regulations involved with Phase 3 quickly became part of players’ routines, and Jets head coach Paul Maurice believes“There’s a lot of protocol in place but now that part has become routine. Players are very adaptable. They like routine, they’re also very adaptable. Everybody’s got their mask on when they’re supposed to,” he said.“I think coming into the bubble we know what we’re focused on. It’s kind of like an extended road trip.
“It’s a lot better than I think everyone was expecting,” said Flames winger Matthew Tkachuk. “They’ve got some cool stuff on the way for us, everything’s super organized and it’s super easy for us to get around.”
