They need to pull the plug now, cancel Olympic participation and extend the season in the spring.

 

[Sheppy]

Yeah, this is a complete shit show.

 

[Gee Wally]

They really need to relook at Covid cases still taking cap space.
How the hell you gonna play a competitive game with 14 or 15 skaters?
Its nuts.
Add the taxi squad now.

Malcolm Subban just made a crazy save against Pittsburgh getting his glove on the puck behind his back and pulled out the puck.

Have been watching the Caps/Jets game, but saw Subban trending on Twitter. Figured it must relate to slew footing. Nope. Was his brother. Just an amazing save. Has to be the best save of the season. I've watched it at least 10 times and been amazed every time.

Watching the Rangers game on MSG and it’s nuts how much better the presentation is compared to NESN. Night and day. The intermission report is right to the point and actually bearable. Half of it is just whipping through highlights of the last 48 hours around the league.

NESN could learn a thing or 100

 

[Bruinaura]

Preds seventh win in a row

Nice goal in OT

Jeannot has been good this year.

I still wish Josi was a Bruin.

 

[TD Charlie]

Some games canceled. Some aren’t. Emergency call ups allowed. Then they’re not.

there is no level playing field any more. In fairness to all teams they can’t play another game until things improve

 

[the negotiator]

Why would anyone think that NHL management has any clue regarding a level playing field and consistency of application of rules

As DOPS as shown us so many times , each situation is a one- off with no set guidelines or precedent to get in the way of whatever decision they want to make an a specific case

A great sport and product run by at best a group of mom and pop operatives and likely - and worse- a true clown show operation

and yet- we still keep coming back for more

Interesting that the parties he mentioned hearing that opinion from were players and management but no mention of team medical staff.

Team management is going to look at it from a business perspective. As for the players themselves pro athletes aren't exactly known as being the brightest lightbulbs

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Yeah, but all you need is one. One player with an unknown or rare condition that complicates things and puts them in the hospital.
Then everyone turns and points their collective fingers at the NHL.

Business liability is a thing.

Voluntary testing for players who believe certain family members may be higher risk?

 

[EverettMike]

Voluntary testing for players who believe certain family members may be higher risk?

How does that protect a 55-year-old coach or 37-year-old assistant equipment manager with asthma from asymptomatic players?

I realize this f***ing sucks, but if they're going to keep playing games they have to keep testing. It's either shut down or test every day. I don't think "play but don't test" is viable, nor, more importantly, is it moral.

I would reply but it would just get deleted.
