[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Tardif said that the two groups of refs were also affected by COVID.

lol Luc Tardif trying to use all excuses to make him not look like a clown.

The whole point of vaccinations was to lessen the effects to a common cold/flu rather than the pneumonia that was the original virus that created extreme stress on hospitals.

I know people who have tested positive recently (not myself) and symptoms are none or mild.

12,000 cases in Ontario and barely any hospitalizations.

It's working. It's time to move on.

I agree!
Lots of people will still stay cautious for a while, like myself and keep my distance, wear a mask, wash my hands more often and so on.

I also heard about a group of coaches that got into an elevator with an elderly couple that refused to mask. They asked them to mask, and the kid/grandkid, said “don’t be so woke.” The stupidity transcends generations.

the face only a mother could love.

Probably looks like his mom……makes for interesting family pics

Remember kids, caring about other people is bad and should be ridiculed. Sigh.

Meh. Coaches could have stepped out. Always blaming others.

 

[dinodebino]

Agreed

Of course you do Send it to Austin! We would have a scout live!

 

[Per Sjoblom]

I remember people saying the same thing about the chicken pox. Now how many of my generation are suffering and dying from Shingles?

You expose yourself to a virus, any virus, at your own peril.

I had chicken pox (born before all the child diseases got vaccines) and I got shingles after high school which is not very common. It is a very nasty thing, started as a rash on my back, then I got high fever and finally blisters on my back that popped. Took quite a long time before I got OK, very strange pain from those nerves. I am vaccinated against it now.

It figures! Oilers f***ing up something is so like them.

 

[River Meadow]

Considering all players are double vaxxed, Calle Clang has a point.

Seems like Hockey Canada (our own) and the Coilers organized this. For this tourney, the IIHF is a figurehead. After all, it’s the TSN show.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

All NHL games in the US got canceled last week. The Spengler Cup got canceled. All IIHF tournaments got canceled for January. Many other NHL games are canceled every day. Nobody's holding you against your will to stay in Canada...LOL

Well said. 16 games so far have been canceled in the Premier League.

The shingles vaccine has a time limit. You may want to repeat every 5 to 10 years.

5 refs according to Swedish news, Alexander Holtz was really pissed off. Last chance to win it for him.

I know. I got vaccinated with the old vaccine first, then a year later a new vaccine came around and a booster shot as well for the new vaccine.

The German team saying goodbye to the rink. Leroux saying some of them were crying.

Yeah, I read that also. I can’t say I’m surprised given where the WJC were held…

Last night 19,000+ fans in Tampa and as far as I know none died of covid in the parking lot after the game

Damn. We had bad luck!

It's such a clusterF. So disappointing that we cant watch the rest of the tournament.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

After the memorial cup finals its probably fine.

But they should restart the whole selection (drafting of players) as well.

They should build a bubble to hold U18 and U20 at the same spot, male and female.

Memorial Cup is early June this year. Don't think NHL would want WJC up against NHL playoffs. Think June & August are terrible months to hold it. Too many events.

July is dead of summer. Ice will be terrible. Plus, draft & draft camps.

April-May playoffs in all leagues world over & World Championship.

February/March seems best possible time, but don't think they can turn around that quickly.

 

[MXD]

During the Olympics would be ideal.

 

[vokiel]

During the Olympics would be ideal.

I was thinking the same. IIHF needs to fix their mess and reschedule with isolated hotels and no attendances.
