I heard a few days ago NJD has 19 players in protocol. How will they even ice a team?

Edit: Ok, looks like only 5 players remain on the list now.

I maintain that the Devils are attempting biological warfare.

The Devils some how managed to have more players on the Covid list than they have fans in the stands during a normal season.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

At some point, doesn't the league need to force teams to start forfeiting games if they don't have enough players to ice a team?

All their fans are home watching the Rangers.

Not if there is any possible way to avoid it. The league and its teams are running a business and they need to play games for programming and in some cases to have some fans in the seats.

BTW -Be careful what you wish for. An outbreak on the Rangers could just as easily happen as on other teams and I would think you wouldn't want games forfeited in that case.

All your Covid are belong to us.

Devils were supposed to play Boston tonight, game is off. They're gonna be ready by tomorrow?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Didn't they cancel all of the Devils games before tomorrow a long time ago? I feel like this date has been penciled in for a while. Maybe there was some set number of days before a lot of their guys could get out of protocols (assuming they didn't test positive again).

I want the Rangers to play tomorrow, and will be pissed when half the team enters covid protocol next week.

 

[Leonardo87]

Rangers have 4 games in 6 days. Gonna be fun..... or not.

This approach is competeley short-sighted. But the right approach. Shoot first (wouldn't this be something for the team), ask questions later.

Yeah that 4 games in 6 days stretch is not too fair when the teams forced not to play get to reschedule and rest in between (as long as they arent really sick, but the majority the team usually isnt).

I know they are trying to fit the games within the season parameters but it would probably be smarter if they extended the season and put the makeup games at the end, given that there could be more fans/gate $ at that time...

But im sure once they get closer to spring/summer theyll be more events filling the arenas... cant win. This whole thing is f***ed. Gotta be happy we have something to watch at all really, even if its 10 games in 15 nights

 

[Shesterkybomb]

4 games in 6 days might just get Mika's legs moving. Also, i don't wanna hear anyone complain when Georgiev gets the net at some point in there.

 

[Synergy27]

Things I want to happen this week: crush the COVID Devils into oblivion on the back of a multi-point game from Lafreniere so “bed wetters” like me shut up and stop whining.

 

[NYSPORTS]

It's been a while since we've lost

 

[Kords]

After what happened to the Sabres, if the Rangers start getting sick after playing the NJ Super Spreaders tm we better start talking forfeiting draft picks and fines for that dumpster franchise.

 

[CasusBelli]

More hockey! More hockey!

Just move them to Quebec or something. Why the hell does the NY area have three hockey teams?

Apparently you don't know how Covid works... smh

They're the safest team to play... they've all had it

I honestly can't tell if this is a joke or not, and I hate this board for making me this way...

I wonder when the Flyers game from yesterday gets rescheduled. Taking a look at the two teams schedules (as well as Knicks and Sixers since they share the teams buildings), it seems like moving the game in Philly from the 24th to the 23rd and playing the rescheduled game at MSG on the 24th makes the most sense though it's packing a ton of games into a short stretch. It seems like it makes the most sense though as you don't want to eat up all the open dates later on in case of more games needing to be rescheduled.

Its always possible that the rangers use the islanders or devils building to make up a game if the knicks are playing at msg.
