Wally - since I assume from your previous posts, that you have a medical background or at least knowledge that most of us don't that may help answer this....
So a serious questions.....
Why does HIPPA apply to coronavirus , but not something as lets say a torn ACL for example....or when a team says a player is in concussion protocol....Isn't that a HIPPA violation?
I will vomit and drive right to the TobinChicago/Montreal SCF
Brad looks to be in his usual good shape.Holy shit we need a replay. Marchand went through the entire team for a goal. Absolutely ridiculous.

The radio can take it and stick it somewhereBUT THE RADIO SAID
CDC came out and said isolation can be 10 days if you have a negative test.Yay! Sounds about right. If Pasta had an oopsie-daisy early last week, that would put him at, what, 10 days? And assuming his agent is being forthcoming and it was only exposure and NOT a positive on Pasta himself, if he's tested negative multiple times, that could be sufficient.
I just read something in the past day or so about isolation being reduced from 14 days to 10 days (but I forget where I read it or what region it applied to), so that could have worked in Pasta's favor too. That's how science works - learn more, modify your procedures accordingly.
Meanwhile, in Toronto....
I wish they had narrated the first 10 minutes or so of practice. Never having played the game, I have absolutely no idea what hockey drills are supposed to look like.
You'd think they could slap on numbers on the backs of the players so Jack and Brick (and, um, the TV audience) could identify the players, just for this one practice. Oh well. At least it's always easy to identify Chara. And, like I said...THAT show is why we'll never see a game played at Warrior. Looking through the netting at Warrior is not fun.
I actually played the 45 minute Return to Play PowerPoint monstrosity that the league put out while I was doing other stuff early this morning. Wish it had been on YouTube - Protip, play stuff at x2 speed. That video could have really used it. Was interesting to see the maps of the venues, and to see the jazzy Vegas-like rink they're building that Fenway showed here.
I can see why they picked Edmonton for the Conference Finals and SCF - it seems much better equipped for the workload, with room enough for 6 locker rooms, and with what looks like a second practice rink within (or adjacent to?) the main rink. In contrast, the Toronto area only has 3 NHL-sized rinks (plus an Olympic rink, which is good enough). The weirdest thing? They're so worried about competitive advantage in the locker rooms that they're blocking off portions of the Toronto and Edmonton locker rooms. C'mon, just let the higher seed enjoy the nice room.
