Covid19 impacts 2021 season

[LadyStanley]

Much safer, healthwise, than flying commercial

 

[LadyStanley]

Unclear how this impacts NHL

Canadian PM announces new travel measures. All incoming international flights must land at Toronto, Montreal, Calgary or Vancouver. PCR test required on entry. Travelers must quarantine at designated hotels for three days waiting for results.


Sounds like instead of two week quarantine, cross border may now be test+3 days. Might help lessen impact for trades.

If that's the case.......great!

With a week until the next (road) game (2/5 @ Anaheim), the Sharks have returned to Santa Clara county/home and getting a chance to be with family (or in the case of the new guys, settle in a bit).

Some of the long term issues are troubling for anyone.

Edit

One positive test from a Barracuda called it.

Preseason game so no need to push it.

 

[LadyStanley]

Only one? Do you have confirmation @TheLegend? Barracuda tweet gave no specifics.

 

[LadyStanley]

Barracuda announcement. One player rested positive.

Cancelling one remaining preseason game (Monday).

Season should still open this coming weekend for them (on the road, even though "home" game). Not scheduled to play back home until late February.

Came off a tweet someone I follow liked.

 

[LadyStanley]

Haven't checked Anaheim and St Louis to see if more than these six games are impacted.

 

[LadyStanley]

VGK has had 4 days of no positives.




Sigh

 

[LadyStanley]

Ten.

 

[jkrdevil]

Ten.

3 are for non-positive test reasons (Carrick had a kid, Vats / Dell coming into the country after getting Visas approved.

still 7 is an outbreak.

 

[LadyStanley]

Mmmm

You have to quarantine for 3 days in the hotel. If you test negative you can go home but must finish your 14 day quarantine at home. It is still a 14 day quarantine but before you get to go home you have to test negative while in the hotel.

Not good that NJD list is growing

As I mentioned in the main board thread, what may be most concerning is all these players have been linemates of each other the past few games (but a few linemates aren’t on the list so it doesn’t look like they are on there for close contact reasons). That seems to indicate spread in-game and on the bench when players are maskless. That makes it hard for the NHL to control future outbreaks if that is the case.

Teams are going to have to make up these games that have been postponed. Vancouver has just played their 13th game while many teams are still under 10 games played. Canucks for the next 4 weeks no back to back games.

going to be a lot of games in a short amount of time this no to limited practices.

it's not just New Jersey now.... Buffalo and Boston have now been impacted as the Sabres had their next 4 games postponed (1 WAS supposed to be on NBCSN against the Islanders. 2 of those 4 are against Boston
