The NHL deemed this (a) fine. It cost McDavid $5k, or 0.036% of this season's salary, or approximately $11 from someone who made $32k per year.

Can't believe there is no suspension, that was just vicious. Oh wait its McDavid, give him a pass!
 
Apparently the Montreal media asked Cole Caufield's coach to compare his goal scoring instincts to that of Wayne Gretzky. 

They might have set their expectations on the player a little high.

Only a little. I mean, the kid is only 5?7?. Unless he has a growth spurt, he?s only going to be able to do so much with his speed and skill.

And that there is why they had to cancel that game even though there was only one official case at the time.

This isn't good at all.  Hope they make a full recovery and nobody else gets infected
 
scary when young men if top physical condition are getting so ill, may be a variant. Hell I am in my mid 60's and overweight, its pretty scary stuff.  Looks like at least another 2 weeks before my wife and I can get jabbed.

Sounds like it might be the Brazilian variant.  This could be really bad for a few of these guys careers. 

The only thing that should matter right now is player health and safety but I do wonder how Vancouver is going to finish their season. 

Four games against Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa
Five games against Edmonton
Three games against Winnipeg

We are either going to see an AHL team play NHL games or the schedule might have to be changed entirely as in some of those games turn into Toronto vs Ottawa type moves.

Seeing as P1 is the most prevalent in BC I do feel like it probably is that variant. We really need to snuff this variant out as it might be the worst of them all at the moment.

I don't see them changing the teams because there's no way of making that fair. It will be against whatever team they can assemble just like it's been for teams going against Buffalo and Dallas. Once the 10 days is up and if they don't get anymore cases they will have to put a team on the ice. Good thing Van has played so many games up to this point.

Edited because just saw Van now has 14 players and 3 coaches on the list and it's the Brazilian Variant. No way they'll be playing next week. Looks like the season will go beyond May 11th now.

Travis Boyd had one skate with the group after serving the 7-day isolation and is now on the Covid list.
