Where you think he’s broadcasting from
Doubt very much that’s HIS basement with all that Ovie stuff in the walls


you can tell by the video/audio they are all on zoom or something similar. Bruce is at home.
Alexa and Alan look like they put up a green screen at home

I was impressed by our discipline this game.  The two calls against us were weak.  The "missed" high sticking call on Oshie, Mr bloody Dan O' bloody Rourke!
Van the man was great, apart from that brain fart.  Send Sammy a ticket home.    :raspberry:

after watching the team on the ice, making them wear masks off the ice makes zero fucking sense
!

You still don't understand, do you. 

It's NOT to protect the players.  It's to protect everybody else around them.

It's to try to limit the SPREAD of the infection.

this after you already said this makes no sense??

"I agree wholeheartedly that the rules set out are pretty dumb. They don't seem to make any sense at all"



I understand it perfectly. In all honesty it appears to be you that doesn't understand it. You want to discus it further I'd be happy to, but it's not hockey related.

Sabres requested it because of the Bills game, Caps had to agree to it
But the game was scheduled for 7pm. Bills play at 6:30.. There's another football game on at 2:30.. Why didn't they schedule the hockey game for noon??
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WATCH DURING LUNCH??  :raised-eyebrow: :raspberry: :smirk:

anyone know what time that hockey game was originally scheduled for? I just assumed it was originally scheduled for noon as that's the norm for Sunday games

I understand it perfectly. In all honesty it appears to be you that doesn't understand it. You want to discus it further I'd be happy to, but it's not hockey related.

You seem to be picking  a fight with me and I don't really understand why?
You quoted a part of a post that was meant as empathetic to someone else, but then omitted the rest of the post, which carried out my sentiments.
Just to point out, I used the word "seem" in the second sentence.
I will happily discuss this with you more on the non-hockey site, if you wish.

It's a pretty important issue, imho.

But actually it IS a hockey related issue.  It affects our team and the fans and everybody related to hockey, so , yes it IS relevant.  We currently have four players out because of this precise issue.
Jus' sayin'.   :(

Not that I'm picking a fight, but how are the players supposed to to spread Covid to cardboard cutouts in the stands?


Or were you thinking the danger was they were spreading it to the other people in the hotel room?  (which was ONLY each other)  WHich is where the violation took place - four players from the same squad in a hotel room without masks on.  THat is where the stupidity is in the violation.
I'm not saying there should not be protocols and that players should not follow them or be accountable if they do not....I'm saying the protocols should actually make sense and be based on science in order to prevent the spread.
How are four players in one hotel room risking any further spreading than the same four players (plus 16 more) sitting shoulder to shoulder in a locker room?


They also fined Lavy for dropping his mask to speak.  Stupid rule, but okay it's a rule.
BEFORE any of this happened (or came to light) I watched the Hens coach pull his mask down about 50 times to yell at his team during the Caps game....never heard any blowback from that.  Not saying this is a case of bias, but rather just inconsistence in the administration and application of the rules.


The end result is...The players agreed to the rules and then (knowingly or not) violated the rules so they are being punished.  I do not have a problem with that.


And if we are being honest....it's not even about the spread of Covid or the safety of the players.  It's about the public perception of safety so that the NHL can have a season and generate some revenue.
