If the masks came off in a hotel room behind closed doors, how the hell does this even get to the league without someone snitching on their teammates?

pretty sure theres gps trackers on them, maybe phone or something i just remember Ray ferraro talking about it on spittin chiclets, maybe they thought forgot about it.

Sounds like they did contact tracing after a player tested positive.  He wasn’t going to lie about what he has been doing.

Lol 100 k for not wearing  masks/,social distancing lol

 

 

What a joke 

 

The virus is gonna stay, just like influenza and the common cold. Are they just gonna fine organizations and people forever ?

 

1. its not a joke. Over 2 million dead in one year already.

 

2. No it won't go on forever.  But maybe it will be over sooner if we all adhere to safety rules. Once a herd immunity is achieved (slowly by SD and masks, and then vaccines to prevent thousands more dead) it should be relatively hard to get it, and we will have treatments then and greater understand the virus. And quicker responses with vaccines for new variants.

 

3. Pick your battles dude.  You realize don't you that the fact that one, maybe more are infected by this rule breaking, means you have lost any argument to support what they did. The facts just proved you wrong.

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?  

There is no bubble this year.  Players are free to go home to their families and are subject to the same rules as normal citizens off the ice.  The NHL has a lot at stake here.  Especially here in BC, they needed some special considerations in order for them to operate.  I'm sure part of the protocol is to minimize contact with other players even with those on your own team.  Especially prolonged contact in a small room with a group of players.

Lol almost a year in and people are still conforming to the stupid main stream media.

 

See I can do it too..

If you are just trolling, I suggest you get some help for that.  If you are not, you just stuck out your middle finger to all the nurses and doctors on the front line by calling this a regular flu.  Maybe if you have any guts at all, go up to a nurse that just treated a COVID patient that died and tell him or her it’s just the flu.  Also don’t bother even saying that most of the people that died were in long term care and they were going to die within a year anyways.  I value one year of an LTC patient more than the entire lifetime of young covidiot morons out there.  I am so done with people like your and your attitudes.

So the league fines the Capitols, will they fine themselves or New Jersey for endangering the Sabres?

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/30823245/buffalo-sabres-games-postponed-least-monday-covid-19

"

The Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils played a game on Sunday in Buffalo. By Tuesday, the next week of games for both teams had been postponed, and 16 players were on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol-related absences list.

The Sabres were scheduled to fly to New York for a two-game series against the Islanders. That trip was delayed because of weather on Monday and then delayed on Tuesday because Buffalo did not have adequate time to complete COVID-19 contact tracing and testing protocols.

 

Later on Tuesday, the league announced that the Sabres' games were postponed through at least Feb. 8, including two games at the Islanders and two games at the Boston Bruins. The decision was made by NHL, NHLPA and team medical personnel, "who determined that more caution was warranted while the League continues to analyze test results in the coming days."

Along with those postponements, the Sabres announced that star winger Taylor Hall and defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen had been added to the COVID-19-19 protocol-related absences list. Being on that list can mean anything from a positive test to required quarantine as a high-risk close contact.

A source told ESPN that Buffalo players were frustrated that Sunday's game was played at all, given the Devils' increasing number in the COVID protocols.

When the Devils and Sabres played on Jan. 30, New Jersey had four players on the COVID-19 protocol list. Before Sunday's rematch, winger Kyle Palmieri, who played over 18 minutes in the previous game, was added to the list.

"Sabres players and staff have been closely following and will continue to follow the COVID protocols as outlined by the NHL and the team's medical staff. Our organization will continue to work with the league and our medical team to ensure the health and safety of our players and staff," said the Sabres in a statement.

The Devils previously announced they had postponed games through at least Feb. 6, which included two games at the Pittsburgh Penguins and a Saturday home game against the New York Rangers.

There were 10 Devils players on the COVID-19 protocol-related absences list as of Monday. Despite goalie Mackenzie Blackwood coming off that list on Tuesday, it now stands at 14 players. Joining the list were forwards Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, along with defensemen Damon Severson, Ty Smith and Matt Tennyson.

Forwards Andreas Johnsson, Janne Kuokkanen, Michael McLeod, Kyle Palmieri, Pavel Zacha and Travis Zajac, who were already on the list. Also listed are goalie Aaron Dell (travel quarantine), defenseman Sami Vatanen (travel quarantine) and defenseman Connor Carrick, who left the team to be with his wife, Lexi, for the birth of their first child.

There have been 18 NHL games postponed because of COVID protocols this season, which started on Jan. 13.

Marco Rossi who was just drafted 9th overall is suffering from Covid complications.   He had mild symptoms back in November and recovered.  He was cleared and played at the U20 in Edmonton.  He reported to the Wild after the tournament and failed his medical.  It took him completely by surprise.  They discovered an anomaly and had to completely shut him down from any kind of activity till further notice.

 

His situation just shows how medical issues can go undetected and/or develop over time.  They are optimistic he will make a full recovery.

I looked out side today, and I see it is raining, that must mean it is raining everywhere in the world right now.

Anecdotal evidence for the win.

Your second point is not correct. The strain of the 1918 Spanish Flu has survived and mutated to become a regular seasonal flu. There is proof from Jeffery Taubenberger, the the Viral Pathogenesis and Evolution Section at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), of this.

The Russians were having a party.  

Yet, how many politicians are flying around the world visiting their vacation hot spots then asking for forgiveness for their "lapse of judgement" when they get caught?

 

How many of them are fined?

 

Living free by the ol' elite adage, rules for thee but not for me!
