Trettioåtta Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 If players get COVID because they broke the rules, should the game be postponed? Seems like they should have to play taxi squad players, personally 5 Quote
Huckleberry Posted January 21, 2021 Report Posted January 21, 2021 I don't really get the point of a taxi squad, I mean if 5 players go down with covid then you have to make sure. But for one you should not postpone a game I think. Espcially if they just broke the quarantine rules. 3 Quote

This place will be unbearable if Johansson takes an L either night against the remaining roster. I will say right now that I will prefer it if Johansson takes a loss against Washington than if Hutton does. At least Johansson could benefit from the experience. Hutton cannot.

It’s to make sure that teams have some extra fill in players around in case a few guys have to out on short notice. That way they don’t need to postpone games. What part of it is not making sense to you? (I say this without any malice or condescension in tone.) Quote

But shouldn’t we be expecting, and demanding, more? I have no problem when people here vent and this team. It’s just a healthy release of frustration. The losing and bad hockey has been tolerated for too long. 1 Quote

Wasn't / aren't commenting on whether the reaction would be justified. Merely pointing out that this place will be on fire should a quarantine depleted Caps squad beat the Sabres w/ their recently promoted backup goalie. Quote
bunomatic Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 2 points. Its early sure but we always seem to find ourselves at the bottom of the league. We had better feast on a depleted Caps team. 1 Quote
