EmilyM Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 29 minutes ago, kesler_sedins said: Just curious aren't the players already interacting with each other during the game without a mask on? How is that different than interacting in a hotel room? I think it's too minimize unnecessary contact when possible. If a positive player is on the ice, there's no guarantee he will infect someone else. But there's a high chance that positive player could pass it to someone else if they're hanging out together in a room. There's no guarantee there will be infections in either case, but why not eliminate the latter if it's not necessary to the game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense should mean they arent fined but hey the league needs to make up for lost revenue somehow 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Should be some player suspensions too. I wonder how many other teams might have been doing this and saw this today Lol. They will probably clean up their act if they were breaking these protocols. It's disappointing seeing a captain and leader like Ovi being the vodka ring leader.

JeremyCuddles Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 They are harder on face mask violations than players hurting one another with sticks and elbows. Wild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes aside, I can see why the NHL is clamping down on their protocols as it has the potential to jeopardize their entire season. There is probably more to the story than just the Russians hanging out in their hotel room... I mean, how did they get caught in the first place? hahaha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Dizzle Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Pretty easy to see both sides on this one I think.... players justify being together by the fact they’re already together all the time and the league cracking down to make sure players know they’re not going to let things slide.

Lancaster Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I could understand if they had visitors or went out for a quick bite.... but they were already in the same bubble with each other. If they just chatted in the locker room, that would be deemed okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive-By Body Pierce Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Sounds like they left their "bubble area" as well as just hanging out in their designated area. In any case, they came to an agreement with their employer in order to resume operation...and are paid hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars. Live up to your contract!

So many people seem to believe that if one thing works, than the other isn't necessary, and otherwise the one thing must not be working. But, they are a sum of parts, all lifting the overall efficacy of implementing all protocols. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the league suddenly decided that this get together was a bad idea. Just ask the Denver Broncos what can happen when players meet together like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules are rules but in my opinion these rules are a big joke. But hey if it's the only way we can watch hockey then I guess it is what it is. I love ovis half assed apology.
