[Church Hill]

Canada forfeits?

 

[PanniniClaus]

[RetroWinnipeg]

Team Canada's tournament in jeopardy?

 

[Frank the Tank]

No idea what his source is...

So where are the tournament officials here? Is it really this much of a circus?

The Chinese officials have said that the Russian side have not given the Canadians the tests.

If that goes against protocol the game should be over. This shouldn't be hard.

Rules..follow them, no matter which team.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I also know i would have my team in the dressing room, not hanging around the ice surface.

 

[lawrence]

looks like an hour delay at least.

that aside, the officiating have been very good if you ask me.

The White jerseys look Canada. I hope they just wear those til the end. Looks gorgeous.

anyone know if Russia has a taxi squad? I Know the U.S doesn't have one.

Playing hockey with a mask would be extremely difficult, I'm guessing the shifts will be short

 

[TheBeastCoast]

15 second shifts all around. Playing with a mask on sounds like f***ing hell.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I've not seen a game anywhere played with masks... i assume Canada could still throttle Russia even with masks.

 

[PanniniClaus]

update.. both teams wearing masks.. Canada will pummel this team

 

[canadianmagpie]

I think the over/under should be whether Canada gets more goals than Russia gets shots based on the first 5 minutes.

What i dont understand is that if ROC was supposed to give results to Canada and they didnt, why arent they just forced to forfeit?

On the other hand if they arent required to do that, same goes for Canada.

I'm of the same mindset. Follow the rules...

 

[Crosstraffic]

Already 2-0 for Canada over the Olympic cheaters from Russia (tm).

 

[Jacob582]

ROCheaters should be forced to forfeit the game if they didn't follow the covid reporting rules.

Canada wants the larger goal differential than a forfeit would provide?

Wearing masks while playing is embarrassing

It is - and especially to the organizer. It was supposed to be a secure bubble with rigorous testing, and yet the news will be plastered with images of players wearing masks while the game is underway. That screams "protocol failure".

There's been a lot of talk about the adversarial COVID protocols surrounding the games - and this sends a very powerful message against those. Heads will roll.

I mean it sounds like someone on Russia has Covid and they are/were trying to hide it lol

During the 1st intermission on TSN they explained why both teams are wearing masks. What happened is the ROC medical officer didn't return the covid results to team Canada. The Canadians wanted to play the game and requested the ROC wear N95 masks. They accepted but requested the Canadians to wear the N95 masks.
