Taylor Hall and Rasmus Ristolanen are the players in protocol 

[LabattBlue]

I'd like to be angry about this whole thing, but instead I give it a big "who cares".  Maybe the players can sneak out of town for a quick trip to the Caribbean.

 

I only have one word to describe the franchise right now...INSIGNIFICANT! 

[Brawndo]

The Devils are up to 14 players on the list

[Zamboni]

Oh bloody hell

 

[dudacek]

Serious questions need to be asked about why the weekend games were allowed to happen.

[That Aud Smell]

The Sabres have to be just livid with the Devils. I saw a Tweet to that effect. Holy crow.

This is adding to my feeling that this season isn't even really a real season.

In 2 years, I'm gonna have a daydream and wonder: "Like, did Taylor Hall ever even play for the Sabres?"

[Brawndo]

 

[That Aud Smell]

Livid! There it is.

Sheesh.

I hope everyone gets well soon.

[Trettioåtta]

Does covid protocol mean the players have tested positive?

[woods-racer]

There is a snowball effect for not following protocol. The Bruins and Isles should be pissed too as it has messed with an already bad schedule thanks to the Devils.

[Figster]

Crap

So does everyone think this was malicious on the part of the Devils?

If only this sort of passion existed for the on ice product.  Never heard language like this about putting a ***** team out there every season.

That stinks.  Hope all that were exposed are ok.

The silver lining is, if whatever injury is affecting Eichel's shoulder is something that can heal (or at minimum get stronger) with rest, the team might be better in the long run.  Also, presumably Reinhart will be back now as well.

Was initially going to say something to the effect of "hope Hall doesn't get it" when they said Johnsson had it based on the way they were going back & forth.  But guess it's a little late now.

They should sue the league for not postponing the Devils games when they knew they had positive cases.    It's ridiculous to put Sabres players and staff at risk... and for what?   What a joke of a league, sad.

[Second Line Center]

Are they positive or not?

I'd think this would be a big deal if contact tracing would be shown to be in game---which I highly doubt.  

[GASabresIUFAN]

The Devils should forfeit the games

award the points to the Sabres, give them double the lottery balls, and NJDs 1st rnd pick this year, and a free spot in the playoffs as a wildcard

Is it the Devils that didn't allow the games to be pushed? Or the league?

Who cares?

STONE THE WITCH!!!!  😉 With the 2 extra points from Sunday, the Sabres would be on pace to make the playoffs.  

It's a fair cop.

Haha i'm all for more points. But people are saying that the Sabres are livid with the Devils, and I'm thinking (wondering if) it's actually the league who says yes or no to playing, not the team. 

[7+6=13]

I wish they were livid on the ice.
