"Trots att JVM är några veckor bort är insjuknandet enligt Kanadas regler för nära inresa."
Uppgift: Svenska jättetalangen stoppas från att spela i junior-VM

So it seems a negative test must be returned a number of certain days before traveling in to Canada? If so Monten has to make room and let Eklund fly in later, he's worth waiting for even if it's just for the playoffs

 

[theslatcher]

Is it WJC rules or Canadian rules? Can't he just fly in later if he tests negative next couple of days???

Canadian rules, so no. If he had contracted it one day earlier he could have.

 

[VictorLustig]

That's just silly. He's probably not contagious right now and the tournament is weeks away.....

 

[Statsy]

That's just silly. He's probably not contagious right now and the tournament is weeks away.....

He’s probably HUGELY contagious, but yeah, the tournament is still a ways away. I can’t believe there’s not some way to make this work. If not, that’s a real gut punch.

Hugely? No, The infectious period peaks around symptom onset and falls rapidly from there. Symptoms started about a week ago in this case.

 

[Prntscrn]

He has been sick but no symptoms anymore and feel healthy. Has returned tests with different results

William Eklund missar JVM

Weird, imagine testing negative, then positive, then negative.

 

[Prntscrn]

Yeah. Multiple tests, one of them positive it says. Not sure if it's literally one positive and several negative.. Also hopes to be back with Djurgården tuesday or thursday, but can't go to the WJCs. So bummed out right now

Yup, a lot of my excitement died down with these news, too.



Kvist gets into the camp instead.

Sweden just lost wjc on some stupid rules. I wouldnt count this tournament.

Stop being such a dysterKvist!

I still like this team. If we lose Heineman and Söderblom too though...

That seems like a rather silly opinion lol

I mean he says he is healthy and the tourment is 3 weeks away. Does this mean all players who lives in Canada gets an advantage since they dont need to cross the border.

What bullshit

You can't cross our border while having Covid. I am sure this isn't a surprise to any of the countries involved. The Canadian players have been sitting in hotel rooms by themselves for the last 2 weeks because 2 players tested positive. Covid sucks, it messes with things. It is what it is lol.

Thats the point. If eklund was canadian he would be in quarentine now and wouldnt miss the tournament.

Canada gets a free advantage here.

Take it up with the federal government I guess? Personally I will just be happy to actually watch hockey. Crossing international borders comes with strings attached right now. Again it is what it is.

Let’s be honest... if this tournament had been held in any other country, it would simply have been scratched this year.

 

[jfc64]

Johansson got to play right defense. Order restored. A few players will advance in the pecking order. First three lines rather solid. And the fourth shouldn't be too shabby either. Canadian border police is rumoured to be able to SMELL covid now. Like their dogs keep up the good work at airports. With the coke, Molly and the Harry. Who replaces Elmer if he's out?

Raymond - Henriksson - Holmström
Heineman - Grewe - Holtz
Olausson - Niederbach - Gunler
Nybeck - Sundsvik - Söderblom

Broberg - Söderström
Björnfot - Johansson
Andrae - Grans

Alnefelt
Wallstedt

Eklund

Broberg - Söderstrom

You didn't hear? Eklund is done

 

[tigervixxxen]

If ANYONE from this point forward tests positive they won’t be participating in the tournament, Canadians included. Eklund wont be the last guy that has to sit out due to testing and protocols. Be glad a positive test hasn’t knocked the whole team out.

 

[jfc64]

You didn't hear? Eklund is done

This should be decided at the highest level. Threats of withdrawing every swedish NHL and AHL player or not signing defense agreements. Trump style. Was the test REALLY not the day before?

Besides, if Lafreniere and Hughes is out they have no excuse for losing to u now. And no one is going to be able to score on Askarov either.

"Eklund, the Covid kid fell off the WJC grid".

 

[vorky]

Let’s be honest... if this tournament had been held in any other country, it would simply have been scratched this year.

I agree just partially. My understanding is that only two countries would be able to host this event this year - Canada and Russia.

 

[Star Ocean]

Meh wont watch a second of this mickey mouse tournament.

I am out.
