Lightning Round: Baseball provides a path for hockey’s return

According to Bob McKenzie, we are one step closer to seeing NHL hockey being played this summer:

NHL and NHLPA have finalized tentative agreement on RTP Phase 3/4 protocols but are continuing to work on finalizing the details of the CBA MOU.

After a weekend of radio silence regarding the sport, McKenzie was among the first to report that the league and the NHLPA have an agreement on the protocols for returning to play. Hopefully, all of the little details that need to be finalized can be done in the next few days and hockey will return to our lives in some form in the next ten days.
