2022 World Junior Championship has been cancelled (MOD: Stay on topic)

[Crazy Monkey]

Gotta love the world we live in where people are more outraged about a hockey tournament being canceled than kids not being able to attend school in person

Hate how the internet has given literally the dumbest people on earth (with zero education or knowledge) a platform to speak a bunch of shit

TSN showing the 2020 final where Canada beat Russia tonight!

probably better for morale than showing the 2021 final where we lost to the US

If you want to talk about vaccines, variants etc. we have a sub-forum for that: COVID 19 - The Coronavirus Outbreak

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I wouldn't hold it in the US.

Hold it in Canada in a complete bubble. Apparently that was the original plan by Hockey Canada BEFORE some nations requested less restrictions!!!

I can hazard a guess as to which team was the loudest about easing restrictions.

It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

This might be a long reach, but, -hold on-, we might be on a hockey discussion site.

I do agree on the latter part I didn't quote

I already miss it. Watching the NHL is good but the pace, flow and mayhem of the World Juniors is just so awesome.

 

[DuklaNation]

Perhaps an assessment of injuries playing hockey is warranted at this time. Not a safe sport at all. Plus it places a burden on the system.

99.9% of the general population doesn't spend any time on hockey forums such as this one. So maybe don't be outraged that people on a hockey forum are talking more about a hockey tournament being cancelled than kids not being able to attend school?

TSN Camera sighting from the 2020 final on TSN now. That was a fun time

1) You think this issue is limited to hockey? People are outraged/whining about a shit load of superficial stuff they can't do. It's like the sacrifices they are making are some sort of crucifixion. Give me a break- they're all f***ing martyrs

2) Being a hockey fan shouldn't exclude you from being a decent person and caring about others in society

The hockey is just an example, man. It goes beyond that

 

[heretik27]

Pretty disappointed in this, but hopefully it's for the better.

2020 and 2021 are years I’d like to forget. The whole world really has gone to shit over this pandemic. Literally feels like everything just sucks ass now. Hoping for better days in 2022…

The people cheering for this cancellation are mostly the ones who want more cancellations and are okay with all of it. The ones who oppose this cancellation, I'd hazard a guess, are ones who want to go on with life. Not sure what you mean as I've seen very few people who straddle that pretty thick line...

The issue here is the people who have the power to do this cancellation are in the former category as opposed to the latter. It sucks but nothing can be done at this point.

I'm expecting insurance is going to cover a lot of this. This stuff was group booked so they'll have some extra protection for sure.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Why are the last 3 years invalidated?

Okay. The last four then. But let's not get carried away and make it five.

We all want to go on with life. Anyone who is enjoying any of this is a sadistic mofo

As for the rest of your post, I agree with much of what you wrote

I enjoyed the 2021 Final much more.

 

[River Meadow]

Every player and every fan fully vaccinated.

Tournament still gets cancelled.

We are not going back to normal with vaccines, and I have just come to accept this.

 

[River Meadow]

Play the tournament in Florida or Texas... problem solved.

You have a lot to learn about 'people' my friend. The expanse of the heavens reside within us and are played out for all to experience. Looking into a mirror will provide infinite detail.

ie. There's a lot of weirdos out there that get off on this kind of stuff. Don't let them be the driving voice.

Eh. The people rolling their eyes in this thread are likely the same people who think cancelling in-person schooling was outrageous from the beginning. Sane people.

I also know a lot of people making a lot of money partially because of the lockdowns… they’re also “happy” or at least not too upset.
