Wait. A player who was playing got removed and put into COVID protocol?

This happened twice last night, Poolman and Morgan Frost with Philly.

Yikes.

Does covid protocol mean they tested positive or they were near someone who tested positive?

Section 4 has the protocols for isolation.

Begins with a positive test and can encompass precautionary isolation informed by contact tracing. Close contacts are also held in isolation until the positive test result is proven negative over 3 days.

So if that?s the case shouldn?t every oilers player that was on the bench be in covid protocol?

How dare you besmirch Microsoft Word 2016's 'Shaded' style template

The pagination and layout efforts put into that document are non-existent.

 

[Deebo]

The flippant use of shapes on the flow charts is the worst part.

No table of contents is also an eregious offense.

It looks like they simply take a quick test, and go from there...right?

I know, I know. I should be more tolerant of a multi-billion dollar corporation that could quite likely afford their own internal communications/graphics specialist.

I'm working on my growth, herman. Please be patient as I go through this transition.

It's like it never made it to the marketing department/brand stewards before it was released. Unacceptable.

The Hurricanes are dealing with a potential COVID outbreak with 6 players out (Aho, Staal, Jarvis, Svechnikov, Cole, and Lorentz) AND will likely be playing 2 players short of a full line-up tonight because players on the protocol still count against a teams salary cap for some dumb reason.

You'd think the league would have come up with some sort of emergency exemption or something, but, of course not. That requires forethought and planning.

Well they did, last season, and then they thought COVID was over.

Never underestimate the ability of a NHL coach to make something boring.

 

[herman]

Shot attempts in such a game state might not be the most telling stat. I wonder if the xG stats show about the same if not better, since teams have the space to pick their spots.

Never underestimate the ability of a NHL coach to make something boring.

I watched an OT not too long ago, I think it was Ducks-Kings, and I was genuinely shocked by how little the teams attacked and just would skate back into their own zone if they didn't like their entry options.
