Symptoms or not, protocol is that Bear should not exercise for at a minimum 10 days.

That’s a lot of conditioning lost.

Is that the NHL protocol? No exercise for 10 days?

Rumor has it that you can sweat COVID out through rigorous exercise. Makes sense

Wait, what? Where did you hear that? That's a new one to me and seems counter to a respiratory-based illness that's mainly vapor transmissible

That seems odd. I thought I remember from last year a couple of guys mentioned in interviews after their hotel isolations that the training staff had stationary bike delivered to them.

Answer to whether player can exercise:

“Per NHL protocols, "A person whose COVID-19 positive status has been confirmed shall remain in isolation, shall not exercise, and shall not participate in any training activity or have any contact (other than remotely) with any other personnel for the duration of their isolation."

btw: if player has certain symptoms then they need to have a cardiac review before being cleared to play. I recommend that for the general population too.

Thanks. Seems like a really weird restriction for the NHL to implement (and difficult to enforce).

Must be that the restriction is aimed at keeping the person away from training facilities as I don't know of any scientific reason why a person who tests positive, particularly someone who is asymptomatic, can't exercise at all.

That and keeping any potential for coercion to stay fit out of the mix. Seems unnecessary.

The (contested) president of Belarus is saying that. If one of his subjects was stupid enough to contract covid, he should proceed to pull himself through it by healthy hard farm work.

 

[LakeLivin]

Well, if you can take a borax bath to undo a covid vaccination I don't know why you wouldn't be able to sweat out the covid virus. Just sayin . . .

That’s the kind of brute force approach we need

 

[chaz4hockey]

btw: we are at positive + 4 days. I'm hoping we dodged a bullet here with rest of the team.

Question?……Why is Bear listed as an injury scratch?
Shouldn’t he be non-roster nhl since it’s Covid related?….and wouldn’t that make his salary not count against the cap?

The Protocol, man. The Protocol.

EXHIBIT 25-A In the event a Player is diagnosed with a confirmed positive finding for COVID-19 (or has a resulting and/or related illness), the Club Physician shall issue an Exhibit 25-A designating the Player as “unfit to play”.

• If the Player is Fully Vaccinated or if the Player is not vaccinated for medical reasons or because doing so would conflict with his sincerely held religious beliefs the Player shall be deemed to have sustained an illness during and arising out of the course of his employment as a hockey player for such period as he may be removed from training, practice or play, and his condition shall be treated as a hockey related injury for all purposes under the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Well can you now explain why DeAngelo and Pesce ARE listed as non-roster but Bear is still just as injured?
Seems to me, Bear also should have been non-roster…….which was my original inquiry

Where is this information listed?

Could it be that the official confirmation has not yet gone through and currently they are only placed in the COVID-19 protocol?

 

[Borsig]

this covid shit is tiresome and never going to end.

over it.

Stop moving the damn goal posts.

And who is the NHL to say a player can't exercise? The f*** they gonna do? Put you in a cell on camera? Don't laugh. It's next.

Capfriendly transactions

Capfriendly transactions

Thanks. My current guess is that they haven't yet been confirmed tested positive for COVID, so they don't officially qualify for hockey-related injured as CapFriendly is concerned. The report was they've "entered the COVID protocols". I think "non-roster" is a placeholder of sorts to denote in the "transactions" that they are not in playing roster currently, but they aren't for example listed in non-roster in the Hurricanes roster page on CapFriendly.

Bear I believe was straight away reported to have tested positive in the first reports. I guess this is temporary situation "pending more information".

Non-Exercise rule is there to protect the player (the NBA actually requires a Cardiologist review before allowing a player back on the court) given the chance that there is heart inflammation due to Covid.

And with Bear back in the lineup this edition of Canes IR can be closed.
