The Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that one of their players has tested positive for COVID-19. He is not in Pittsburgh and has been in isolation since experiencing symptoms, but has already recovered. Those who came in close contact with him have been notified. The identity of the player has not been revealed.
This is the ninth NHL player who has tested positive (at least publicly revealed to have tested positive) following five members of the Ottawa Senators and three members of the Colorado Avalanche that were diagnosed months ago.
Yep, they will get the playoffs completed with not one player getting covid during that time. I understand he wasn’t with the team but just imagine when these guys are in locker rooms day after day
Yeah I miss hockey and sports but this is not a good idea. Just call it and try to start late next season.
Bettman (w/cameras on): “We *really* care about player safety, as we prepare to finish this (asterisk-infested) season…”
Bettman (w/cameras off): Hey, be quiet over there! I’m trying to count the loot before the NHLPA finds out!
@JMikes73 – I second that idea!
@TJECK109 – Mentally picturing the potential carnage like me?
The readers at DK’s site are praying that it’s Jack Johnson.
This is largely true most years, but even more so now…it’s likely to be the healthiest team, not necessarily the best, that wins.
sounds like the NFL to me.
My money is on one of the Swedes.
Just to be safe, let’s wait until WhuFlu is eradicated from the face of the earth before any sports is ever played again. In fact, Bill Gates should get the final say on it. (Sarcasm off).
that’s some awesome racism
Your response reminds me of the saying “just accuse someone of racism, it’s easier than thinking”.
