I can not say about Canada, but as I know, the Russian NT camp starting in a few days. They will be isolated in their training facility in Novogorsk, tested, then moving to Canada for WJC.

The same with the Slovak NT. Their camp is in a bubble, hoping in the city of Zvolen. Also tested.
Nice to hear. Let's hope everyone takes this approach.

As kids, the virus will likely come and go. Just get them together and keep everyone else out.
 
I'm just getting to know a few of these players, but this is how I imagine it after watching the first couple scrimmages.

Newhook - Dach - Tomasino
McMichael - Cozens - Mercer
Krebs - Byfield - Jarvis
Perfetti - Holloway - Quinn
Suzuki/Rees

The contentious cut here is bound to be Zary - He has the hands to play with anybody but he was getting stripped by backcheckers here. When the pace picks up I question him more. There are a lot of players I'd like to see tried with Dach and Tomasino - I have it Newhook here but I'm curious about Perfetti in that spot as well.

I doubt the pace in the tournament will be much higher than the Team Canada scrimmages if at all.

Right, what I meant was that the pace is very high and I'm questioning Zary more now than in juniors. The ideal is you put someone on that line who has his hands but can keep pace better.
 
two players on team Canada have tested positive for Covid.this could put the team out of the tournament. Alberta is the hot spot in Canada. in hind site should have went to a smaller venue.maybe London. too late now.

No it won't. We're still a month out from the tournament. The final team will quarantine before the start of the tournament. This is no big deal.

Lol. Covid is a joke anyways.... this will not threaten the tournament. The test is highly unreliable, it can't tell the difference between dead and not-dead virus. I know from experience.

Nobody cares about your thoughts on Covid. People like yourself throw around the "sheep" comment, yet want people to follow you around like a sheep.

I agree. This will pass and the players will get into the bubble.

I still think they could / should have bubbled really early. They're in Canada so it wouldn't require a lot of logistics.

Covid is a joke??? Go tell that to all the families that have lost a love one because of Covid. I guess compassion and empathy is not one of your strength! :rolleyes:
 
This is unbelievable! Now, we are all questionning HC pre-camp protocol/procedure.

1. Did the staff and team members, at least, quarantine themselves for 1 week prior to coming to camp? Was there a test prior to 1-week quarantine and one prior to camp entry?
2. How did 2 staff members and 2 players contracted the virus?


Now, this just ruined everything. You may have to quarantine all 46 players and staff. Jesus God, and Curse to all who supports the CPP.

I think there's a big cost to creating a bubble. I mean a real bubble where all the service workers (food, laundry, cleaning) are also quarantined.
 
Interesting. There were supposed to be cuts tonight. I wonder when those will come now that the final game has been cancelled/postponed.
