Force de jour.. its in many other industries. Yes they owe it to themselves which many have them have stated. I’ll take their opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I bet you close to, or more than half the players have a problem with this.. probably why I’m hearing it’s not going to a membership vote. Hey boys, back to meat packing.! Small minority most likely have issues which the NHL will need to clear up before they take the next steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you catch it, you have a one in 12 chance of dying. And about 00.0005% of the world’s population has died from it so far. I’d rather get on with life, but you know how the bleeding hearts and social justice warriors will be. If one little thing goes on, it’ll ruin this already altered thing. I don’t think this lame version will be as good as what people will think it will be. The risk is actually much much lower than that because most people that actually have COVID-19 aren't tested. I am in no way trying to downplay the severity of the pandemic. I'm just trying to say that the risk of mortality is not that high. I think it will be impossible for players to turn off their competitive juices once things get going. I don't think it will be lame at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after it’s all said and done fans will think differently; but if the players are out there battling and grinding through fatigue and injury for 4 rounds and two months I don’t think you can put an asterisk on it. It will be interesting to see what the protocol is for a team, if or when a team member tests positive.. protocol right now is 14 days at home if exposed to some one. I beleive there has been NHL players who have already tested positive only a few weeks ago,. And noe some of the information states that it lingers on without an expiry. KHL Canceled their season amidst the playoffs in April. Edited May 23, 2020 by SilentSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also by July when they plan to resume I’m hoping that cases have dropped even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a quarantine, and testing every three days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping families quarantined within a certain area while playoffs go on might be necessary too. That being said a player testing positive may not necessarily mean they have to shut everything down. I would imagine they would take a pause, retest everyone and then resume when it’s safe. Obviously they want to avoid that at all costs though.

It's all fear mongering anyway at this point. My life hasn't changed at all. I still go to work every day, and take my dog for walks and socialize with friends, the world's gone mad.

If it's in the US, doubtful that numbers are declining and if they are, not likely at a rate where they should feel safe.

Fanuck Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 So this things goes ahead, we get down to the semi-finals with 4 teams left, a couple guys test positive from one team - then what? Tell the Lightning they can proceed to play but without Point, Kuch, Hedman and Vasilevskiy........ok then. Or the semi finals for eastern conference plays in Vegas, and the west plays in Vancouver. But one location has an outbreak and the teams stationed there test positive in enough numbers that they're decimated, then what? I really like to know what the NHL contingency plans are gonna be to not make a mockery out of an already comical situation. I know there's a lot of 'what if's', and both the NHL/PA are working on all eventualities, but I just can't wrap my head around all of the considerations.....
