This will be a very short GDT, I'm thinking.  As in, see you all in the New Year (sometime).
 
The NHL is a joke.  Absolutely pathetic response.  The league needs to be put on hold.  This is active outbreak at this point

We [my hospital work] are short staffed and if we come into contact with Covid cases (particularly the newest variant) and aren?t in full precautions we get sent home to quarantine.  The whole roster should be in Covid protocol once an outbreak starts in an organization.

If the NHL wants to take the approach that COVID is just a flu/asymptomatic illness for the league at this point.  That's something that they can do, but then they need to not make players quarantine.  I don't agree with that plan at this time but I'm also full bore on the shut it down and come back after Christmas.

Players can go home and see their wives/kids.  The Olympics clearly aren't happening at this point.
 
NHL still working off the erroneous belief that there is no transmission in game contact despite the evidence in front of their faces.

However, if the NHL wanted to, they could tout the efficacy of vaccinations as most players are asymptomatic or relatively ok (certainly not hospitalized like they needed to be last year pre-vaccine).
 
So spezza was exposed to covid away from the team then?  Being suspended he would be able to practice with the team I would think.

No Spezza was with the team and was definitely in the lockerroom/practiced with the club. This isn't stopping at 4.
 
I don?t understand why this game is still on. May as well give a chance for the bruins to play all those games in hand.
 
Two teams in active outbreak... the game is taking place so that we can have more COVID cases between them when they cross-contaminate.  It's absurd.

Tyler Myers was added to the list today for Van.
 
Yep, even Keefe was saying whats more important right now is to get home to his family for Christmas.  Family first, always.
