That would be pretty hard to coordinate logistically at this late notice, I'd think?NBC is hearing Canada wants the teams to be in quarantine when they start training camp this week.

Define "in quarantine"? Staying at local hotels? Just really locked down, like people SHOULD be doing? In the Canadian hotels? I mean, the last option is a bit last minute, but teams have planes. But I guess part of the problem is figuring out how to get players to their "team home". Also a problem if players are trying to arrange for mundane stuff at their in-season home/apartment...but supposedly the teams are supposed to have staff to take care of players' families while they're gone.
Honestly, that pic in the other thread of maskless Pasta (and Kase, I think?) with his hands around the fans isn't doing anyone any favors. Honestly, I wouldn't care if he came within 3 feet of someone "glancingly" while everyone's wearing a mask, but I'm not comfy with touching, even if it's not the primary mode of transmission of COVID. Red Sox also put up this:
Yeah, I get it, they're in the bubble with each other - they're essentially in the same "household". But can we just not go around touching random surfaces unnecessarily?
As was the case with twenty four/ seven, and At the End of the Day, today's catch phrase seems to be "from the Basement" and I just assume have you work the games from there so as to keep you safe. May the force be with You.The NHL has yet to issue guidelines for media - TV/Radio/Print
NBC is not thrilled with calling games from Connecticut and neither are the local RSN's in the US and all the local radio outlets.
Isolating announcers in a venue far away from the players can be done easily but
Should these logistics not have been worked out before the venues were chosen? Like, should these provisions not have been factored into the decision-making?NBC is hearing Canada wants the teams to be in quarantine when they start training camp this week.

Chances are extremely good it will work out. Puck drops August 1st.All of this makes me nervous. I don't think the chances are good that this is going to work out. There absolutely should be a 14 day quarantine for everyone in the tournament, professional athletes and their staff, etc., should not be exempted. Canada has worked hard to get the situation under control - this is a large group coming in all at once. No thanks....quarantine or stay home.
They were worked out with the Provinces, this is the Canadian government stepping in.
Hmmmmm...
And I thought the NHL Awards show was cringey... This might take the cakeWe had this too - the Bruins sent this out:
TEAM SPECIFIC VIDEOS THAT WE’D LIKE FOR YOU TO RECORD
- 30 seconds of you chanting AND clapping “Let’s Go Bruins!”
- 30 seconds of you just chanting “Let’s Go Bruins!”
- Video of you saying “WOOOOOO!”
- Video of you saying “TUUUUUUUUKKKKKKK”
- 30 seconds of how you’d dance to Shipping Up to Boston (please refrain from singing the song & playing it in the background)
GENERIC VIDEOS/REACTIONS THAT WE’D LIKE FOR YOU TO RECORD
For that last one, we should have lots of "sense memory", as the actors would say.
- 30 seconds of reacting to a goal being scored
- For this, for the first three seconds, you should pretend that you are anticipating the goal, and then explode into your celebration
- 30 seconds of you chanting “We Want the Cup!” - Example of the chant is located here.
- 30 seconds of you Booing/reacting to a bad call on the ice (no bad words/hand gestures please!)
