[Machinehead]

The NHL really sucks at this

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I’m ready to throw hands with DiGiuessipe for getting everyone sick

 

[Cmox]

anyone have the tik tok vid?

 

[FultonReed]

If they are dressing Tarmo I hope that he gets to take Fox's spot on PP1 and not Trouba.

honestly, that seems like a decent idea. give him PP time, perhaps shelter him a bit 5v5, only because it's his first NHL game

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

O/U on Gauthier's 2nd and 3rd period minutes: 5

 

[FultonReed]

can Tarmo play the right side?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I wanted Tarmo in but not at the expense of Fox. Why hockey gods, why do you do this

 

[haveandare]

This was always going to be a bonkers circus season. Sucks, but it is what it is. Excited to see Tarmo play tonight.

 

[tomobson]

Please don't give Smith minutes next to Lindgren. The guy just can't play big minutes. I'd rather see Hajek take those minutes and see how much we can get out of him.

 

[The New Russian Five]

I thought Tarmo plays the left side?

It’s more like walking on egg shells kinda season. What else could happen?
Like any positive force is quickly met with an equal or more powerful negative one

It isn't half as bad in the Premier League or the NBA and they're doing full travel.

Clearly, the guys don't get it and messaging from the league isn't good enough.

 

[FultonReed]

I thought Tarmo plays the left side?

pretty sure he does, that's why I asked if he can play the right side. unless Lindgren moves over?

From a quick look, and correct me if wrong, but it doesn't seem those leagues force players to sit based on contact tracking like the NHL does?

They do, Durant had to sit a few times I think.

Yup. Game should have been cancelled, but no...the show must go on, apparently.

 

[Machinehead]

From a quick look, and correct me if wrong, but it doesn't seem those leagues force players to sit based on contact tracking like the NHL does?

If the NHL were really strict about this, this game wouldn't be played.

Literally the entire roster is a contact.

 

[Machinehead]

I also feel like maybe the division thing is backfiring.

Travel forces the team to be together. When you're in the hotel and out the next day, you're with the team.

As it stands, they're in the same city for four nights and home for 2-3 weeks at a time. That leaves a lot more time to do the shit they shouldn't be doing.

NBA does

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Just zip over to Javits and get vaccinated sheeeit

 

[EpicDing]

I mean, assuming that PDG, Fox, or Buch tested positive then yes. Contact tracing is only direct contact with a positive, not secondhand.

NBA does

Thanks, I don't follow it.

Didnt they completely f*** up when they let the Devils play the Sabres, and then both teams had massive outbreaks? You think they would have learned.

 

[Bob Richards]

F*cking TikTok

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Kakko is going to score tonight because he'll finally have someone to talk Finnish with

 

[Machinehead]

I mean, assuming that PDG, Fox, or Buch tested positive then yes. Contact tracing is only direct contact with a positive, not secondhand.

There has to be a positive test somewhere and when it's three guys, I have a hard time believing that positive test isn't somewhere on the team.
