I'm being told by top men* that if a player tests positive for Covid, the opposing team will get a 5 minute power play.

*Who?**
**Top....men

There is absolutely no way to make the league a true closed system. I don't see how they could safely get teams together, just teams together with each other, with the density of viral load in the United States.

especially when the nhlpa wants their members families to be included in the “player bubble” yet they want them to be able to move freely in and out of the bubble to enjoy the hub cities :L :L :L

If they were going to freak out if people start testing positive, what was the point of this whole thing?



Wasn't it kind of a given that this would happen?

Just have them all go to Florida and the last one to get infected is deemed the winner. And remember if you don't get tested you can't get infected.

it was out there as an nhlpa ask ... i think they relented on it though ... at least when it comes to vancouvers hub city proposal. Premier of bc said he was misquoted when he said the player families could “go out and enjoy all vancouver has to offer” lol. The public health officer said “uh no”

And instead of Bettman handing out the Cup, DeSantes can give the last person standing a bronzed one of these:

And instead of skating it around, they are giving free rein to randomly cough in people's faces. :L

Well yeah, I doubt they would want to be near Minneapolis/St Paul right now.
