GDT: WJC: Slovakia Vs Russia | 29th December @ 2:30PM MT

[Kajoo72]

Isn’t MT +8? And the game at 0:30 CET? Basically almost a typical east coast game.

22:30 CET buddy, checked out on live ticker site.

First US, then Czechs, now Russia. WJC just can get cancelled.

 

[Ivo]

Just cancel the whole thing. What is the point?

Michkov got Covid. Suddenly the whole russian team became much less interesting.

 

[kudla]

Unbelievable....

Yikes, he’s the most noticeable everywhere.

The tournament is likely over, I don’t see how they continue with the current Covid rules

I’m supposed to go to Canada Finland on NYE but having all of these games forfeited makes me much less excited.

This sets up a very interesting final set of games in group B. Realistically any of USA, Slovakia, Switzerland or Russia could finish 5th

 

[Dr Pepper]

Strike three.

Really looking forward to seeing how IIHF moves forward with these draconian rules, after they were so gung-ho to cash in on this tournament.

 

[Canuckistani]

Another forfeit because one healthy vaccinated player tested positive for what amounts to a cold?

Just cancel the tournament already. This is quickly approaching World Cup 2016 levels of farce.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats to Slovakia for their first win!

As an unrelated sidenote.. book of boba fett is now streaming on Disney Plus.lol

[PG Canuck]

Pathetic tournament

[kudla]

Great organization Hockey Canada or whoever runs it

 

[czechcanadian]

For everybody’s sake. Just end this madness.

 

[Sheppy]

This is such a gongshow.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Please, just cancel the entire thing now. This is beyond parody.

 

[Canuckistani]

I've long detested the anti-vax, covid conspiracy crowd, but this is bloody ridiculous.

They're forfeiting games at what was once a reputable hockey tournament because some vaccinated young men have positive tests but are physically fine.

Can we put some adults in charge of this please?!

Absolutely devastating for the 2004 born Slovaks who won’t be at the u18 tournament in April, due to more incompetence from IIHF. They should let us play a game against latvias u18 team so we can take their spot
