Looks more like regulations rather than a worry about a team outbreak due to the storm. Probably beneficial tbh to give the guys a break

Laaaaaaame.

Yeah, this is weather related

Devils forced to postpone three games because of COVID

The Devils played back-to-back games against the Sabres in Buffalo on Saturday and Sunday. Center Travis Zajac missed Saturday’s game after a positive test and forward Kyle Palmieri did not play Sunday after a positive test.

On Monday, Andreas Johnsson, Janne Kuokkanen, Michael McLeod and Pavel Zacha all tested positive. They played in the games over the weekend.

New Jersey now has 10 players on the COVID list, including No. 1 goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood.

Maybe Ralph will take them to a strip bar bowling so they can do some bonding.

What is this system? I haven’t read up on any of it. Is it 10 players that tested positive? Or 10 that were in contact with someone positive? Idk how a team that shares a locker room could possibly separate themselves.

First good news about the Sabres I've heard in awhile.

I’m not 100% sure of their protocols either but just from counting the positive tests in that article it looks like the majority are players who tested positive for covid (at least 6 from that article).

edit - I wonder if that’s one of the issues, Samsonite - as you said how can they possibly separate themselves in an NHL locker room? They don’t have the room to spread out like the NFL.
If they isolated close contacts after a covid positive case, they’d probably have to isolate the entire team.

Still doesn’t seem like their covid protocols are working very well, whatever they are. Not sure how you fix it though.

We need a GDT for this lol

I had seen something yesterday that stated 10 players/personnel.

They're mad as hell and they're going to continue to take it.

The NHL took a look at Kreuger's pre-game lines and decided to shut it down before things got out of hand on the message boards.

No, Dell and Vatanen are in protocol because they traveled from abroad, Blackwood has tested positive 2 weeks ago, Carrick is in protocol because his wife had a baby, Zajac tested positive before games with Buffalo. Palmieri after game on saturday and Jonnson, Mcleod, Koukkonen and Zacha are in protocol after the game on sunday.

The Sabres plane is in the air and has been denied landing clearance. They're trying to arrange for air to air refueling so they can make it to Greenland. Ristolainen has a parachute and the other players are giving him dirty looks.

Incarcerated Bob saying (on Twitter) that the Sabres have at least 1 positive covid test. I hope he’s wrong but He broke the Sabres covid news and called out the people reporting it as a weather related delay.

(I can delete this post if this source is not allowed)

That guy has was making shit up on the radio for years before he was making shit up on Twitter. He's not a source anyone should be relying on.

No it's not. All the NYC area airports are open.
