At least now the Sabres can blame the NHL office for all their problems
given the Avs injuries, probably not the worst thing to get shut down for a bit5+ wild players entering protocol. Expect avalanche to have some as well after playing three consecutive games against them. Rumors that wild will be shutdown for 7+ days.
*Tyson jost of colorado added. Damnit.
WowNormally I would say the Pens might be better off without him but their only two good defenseman who are healthy are second year guy Marino and rookie POJ.
Yeah. Just worried about a tighter schedulegiven the Avs injuries, probably not the worst thing to get shut down for a bit

This sucks.Wow
@SethRorabaugh: Penguins defenseman John Marino has been added to the NHL's list for "COVID Protocol Related Absences."
yes. this is just illustrating how bad things are when you take out the players in the protocol plus the injured Nico.Devils are shut down, no?
not sure how you make that jersey better but they somehow didReverse retro jersey night for the Habs. I'm a fan.
Of course now they'll never wear them again after tonight's debacle.Reverse retro jersey night for the Habs. I'm a fan.
That was a bad one.I'll accept refs being allowed to call embellishment penalties when they are willing to put up their game checks on being 100% right.
It's quite a conundrum:This Covid thing might be bad. I have heard its been around since 2/2020, crazy enough.
That said, the Rangers have a roster conundrum they need to settle. With Kreider and Panarin at LW on long term high dollar deals, Lafreniere will be relegated to 3rd line duties, unless Kreider is moved down, Panarin isn't moving. For the long term, this won't work well, especially if the belief is that Lafreniere is a top 6 forward, which you have to believe. Buchnevich, playing 1st line RW is RFA coming off a bridge deal and could command around $5mm per, which i don't believe his game warrants. Kakko should be considered a top 6 RW, if you go under the high pick theory. Kravtsov appears to be the goods and could be a top 6 once his KHL season ends. Strome is not a C2. I am not a fan of the Trouba deal, but i can live with that much more than the Kreider deal, which was done before anyone knew Lafreniere would happen. Hasn't exceeded 28 goals nor 53 points in any season and has a no move at 6.5mm for 7. This is important, because now Zibanejad will come due in 2022 and the Rangers need to figure if they pay him like a C1. You have to figure there is a deal in the future that will clear the jam and bring a C2/C1. Maybe Buch walks and Strome moves to RW, so he doesn't lose 65% of FOs. They get 8.6mill back from the Hank & Shattenkirk buyouts, but they also can't pay Georgiev 2.425m to be a backup. Lots of top end Dmen in the system, but timing for this team to have a window seems muddled.
They have been adjusting the schedule almost daily lately to account for games missed,Is the NHL switching around any games due to covid or are they sticking strictly to the schedule and adding cancelled games to the end?
There was a study that suggest hockey specifically could not be as safe as other indoor sports and definitely worse than outdoor. It has something to do with the coolness of the air and the air flowZiegleresque stuff from the league with that Columbus deal.
Anyway back to the litany of depression - LeBrun reporting more NJ/BUF/MIN postponements on tap. And now two linesman that worked the BUF/NJ games are in the profile - maybe it isn't the case for outdoor sports like football but it is getting harder and harder to deny in-game transmission is possible in at least some sports. :(

They erase goals all the time for that exact reason, the guy being offsides. Heck, I still vividly remember when a player couldn’t be in the crease near the goalie, goals got disallowed practically every game! How does a professional sports league not a) have relatively simple rules, b) know what those rules are, c) enforce them consistently?I read that when they told Columbus about it at the intermission they said "we wished we could take the goal back but there's no precedent for that" But they took the penalty off the board and the guy got to come out rather then server the rest of it. There's precedent for that?
Hard to believe something like this could even happen.
The cold air/surface allows the particles to hang in the air longer than they do outside or in warmer conditions. That and the fact that most rinks don't have great air filtration systems, although I think that's more likely in smaller private and or community owned rinks.There was a study that suggest hockey specifically could not be as safe as other indoor sports and definitely worse than outdoor.

Agree that the league screwed the pooch on this one, but just taking the goal off the board and resetting the clock to the time it happened and adding that to the 3rd period potentially sets a bad precedent in and of itself too.I read that when they told Columbus about it at the intermission they said "we wished we could take the goal back but there's no precedent for that" But they took the penalty off the board and the guy got to come out rather then server the rest of it.
