BREAKING NEWS!!!!!

Embarrassing, just plain embarrassing. NBA the freaking NBA continues but NHL shuts down. 

I am beginning to get a clearer picture with this comment

Unlike the NFL, the NHL has to deal with the Canadian government, and there is a belief that provincial governments would not be on board with lesser testing requirements, especially for players traveling into the country.

The Flames had 19 players in the NHL COVID-19 protocols and had all their games postponed through to Christmas. But Flames head physician Dr. Ian Auld said "overwhelmingly, our cases so far have been either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic," with players recovering after 36-48 hours.

This guy seems to be a problem.

Isaac Bogoch,  an infectious diseases physician and scientist with the Toronto General Hospital Research Institute, who has consulted with the NHL and Major League Soccer players associations.

Hell, read it for yourself here:

 FYI the city of Toronto and its surrounding area and the majority of the people in it are a huge problem in general for the rest of Canada. I say that as a person who was born and raised there. Them and the province of Quebec are the reason Canada is saddled with a corrupt, criminal piece of shit, communist prick as our dictator. The last two elections his party lost the majority vote but because of the fixed system we have here he just needs basically the Greater Toronto Area and Quebec and he wins. Unlike in your more democratic nation, here a piece of evil shit like him can just continue to keep running and ruling, both of which he will despite most of Canada hating his guts. There is no two term rule. Anything out of Toronto will be a problem, it is a Marxist city full of Marxists, so no surprise at that doctor or that hospital being a problem in this scenario.

Go Army

A league 99.9999999% vaccinated - as they proclaim - yet ALLLLLLL these cancellations from players testing positive.  It's sad how fucking blind people are and how naive they are to the motivations of Big Pharma and the power they have.  Amusing how the NBA and NFL no longer test asymptomatic vaxxed players because so many test positive but the UNVACCINATED ARE THE PROBLEM !!! LOL  People please wake up......

Whether Canadian or American - your government dgaf about you and Big Pharma is not your friend. They all will keep this going as long as possible because it is in their financial interests to do so.... SAFE AND EFFECTIVE they say... REALLY ???? Like Chantix and Vicodin and Oxycontin and every other fucking drug deemed harmful or pulled off the market over the last 20 years for killing people after the same initial proclamations ???? Cognitive dissonance is real.....

 Read it many years ago my friend and yes it is

Damn government is behind this? Big surprise with that POS asskisser Trudeau. 

Had to watch garbage NBA and I could not get into that crap. It takes them a half an hour to play out the final minute.

Here you go C..more quotes from players:

PA player rep Alex Killorn said he isn't sure if CDC recommendation for 5 day quarantine will be implemented, but believes it should. "It seems like Canada is a reason a lot of things don't happen, so don't know if we'll be able to do that, but it seems reasonable"

@GASportsDoc

Wow..

Blame Canada.

A shame when all the other leagues adapt but the federal government decides to get involved in Canada instead of staying out of it. How come Toronto Raptors are good to go but then they slam things shut for NHL.

That 5 days quarantine would be a big difference. 

 I have pondered on this very question. My conclusion. NBA could tell the Raptors to go jump in lake Ontario and wouldn't blink. The NHL would not dare tell that to Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary or Vancouver. 

@GASportsDoc

 100% truth to this statement. The league would tell the Canadian Government to F right off. 

Read this article doc: 

https://ca.yahoo.com/sports/news/nhl-postpones-9-games-in-canadian-cities-attendance-restrictions-224231358.html

Bruins at Montreal game moved to Boston as the Province of Quebec has imposed attendance restrictions. 

Several other matchups cancelled because of Canadian Provinces and perhaps Federally. Attendance restrictions seems to be the cause. 9 more games postponed in Canada. 

The source sucks though Yahoo news stinks.
