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

[aresknights]

Shut et down n learn from it. See ya next year.......maybe.

 

[Chainshot]

IIHF felled by both trying to be stringent as a governing body for their sport AND their rampant greed at the cash-cow that is the U20's in Canada. Poorly executed and even more disappointing than if it had simply been cancelled.

This is the most confusing post in this entire thread. And that’s saying a lot.

Tell me about it.

Everyone knows O'Toole was by far the more insufferable of the two.

This thread is going to give me an aneurysm

Enjoy being mad about hockey getting cancelled for a year everyone

Maybe people are mad because this is just another thing after they already lost their jobs, their businesses to Amazon, couldn’t see their family, their kids couldn’t have a graduation, their weddings were delayed or cancelled, their siblings fell back into addiction and they couldn’t have a funeral for their dead parents.

You need to be banned from these forums. Aneurysms can kill, and that's not a risk you should be allowed to take.

This is the wittiest, kill-them-with-their-own-logic statement i've ever seen.

You just ended this man's career. Bravo.

Not in Sweden where the tournament was supposed to be played.

IIHF protocols would have been the same in Sweden

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

It’s the government MAAAAAAAN. None of this makes sense, it doesn’t add up. Sure I barely passed high school but I’m the smartest guy I know.

It all about mass demoralization before the "aliens" reveale themselves. It'll make the harvest that much simpler.

I've seen beer league tournaments ran smoother.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

As far as we know, this tournament was cancelled without anyone exhibiting any symptoms of COVID.

Just a mind blowing lack of common sense.

A reflection of the insanity going through most of the world.

 

[Woodrow]

I feel bad for the players. Travelling half way round the world and quarantining only to have the tourney cancelled because organizers dropped the ball. What were the organizers expecting to happen?

 

[vippe]

IIHF and the hosts are naive to say the least, to expect the teams to not get any cases of covid in a non bubble environment with Omicron doing it's thing right now.

This is all on them.

I feel sorry for the players missing out on this chance which for some will be the only chance they ever get, and especially the players who contracted Corona virus who might just blame themselves when they could do nothing about it. Being 17-18-19 years old it's easy to blame one self..

 

[Dr Pepper]

Predictably, this thread has turned into a steaming pile of feces

Fitting, considering how IIHF handled the tournament.

"Extremely deadly disease"

No. Cancer is an extremely deadly disease. SIDS is an extremely deadly disease.

Is cancer transmissible? Can you get cancer by being in the same place as someone who has cancer. Can a cancer patient pass on cancer just by hugging another person?

 

[Seachd]

Did you also forgot that the tournament is international?

Ok? I’m struggling to find the relevance. I replied to a post blaming Alberta for this happening, which implied it would have been successful outside Alberta.

That’s great it was originally going to be in Sweden. It goes to a different country every other year. The reason it returns to Canada between those years is because of the fan support, where it trounces all the other countries. But that has nothing to do with this thread.

This virus is never going away. Always a new variant. I guess we will never live a normal live anymore

I hope he wore his mask before posting that.

Were not the russians that were quarantined a couple weeks before the start of the tournament? Getting COVID is inevitable right now with Omicron, it can be delayed but almost all of us will get it eventually

 

[Czechboy]

Lmao first my Olympics and now my world Juniors, I had just went out to buy a 6 pack to watch Canada vs Germany.

F you COVID.

China cancel the Olympics you bums, host it in the summer and let Team Canada steamroll you please.

Politics aside.. please drink that 6 pack!

 

[erikhamren]

THey were scared that sweden would win against canada

You have to stop. Covid isn't an extremely deadly disease.

Pretty sure I caught cancer in a grocery store walking behind a guy who sneezed.

Stay on topic. Calling this an "extremely deadly disease" is a joke. Omicron is a meme variant and a perfect opportunity to get herd immunity.

So fun watching everyone’s future prospects. Becuase most prospects are extremely difficult to watch otherwise


really sucks.

 

[jonlin]

Fitting, considering how IIHF handled the tournament.

I`d assume the country arranging the tournament also has some blame? It`s not like IIHF can arrange a tournament in a country without help. Hockey-Canada is as guilty.

Pretty much. And this is why I will not be getting my booster. There will just be another variant introduced and the booster that I received will be ineffective against it. This will go on and on until the end of time.
