Probably for the best. I'd heard one of the league's top priority is to protect the Winter Classic, and that played into this decision.

While i appreciate the joke there, let’s not equate getting this “vaccine” with morality.

If they would just stop testing Asymptomatic players, everything would be fine but the NHL wants to show their Virtue Signaling front and center

I assume it's more liability and TV related.

I really don't know the answer to this question, so don't take it the wrong way. I was under the understanding that "asymptomatic" people that test positive can spread COVID. I'm not sure if this is something that they have now decided is not true, but I seem to recall that.

Thanks

I'm in line with this thinking. If a player is both vaxxed and asymptomatic, they shouldn't be tested. I believe the NFL is switching to this policy. NHL should do the same.

I think I heard the problem with that is Canada. They've got tougher restrictions and the government won't sign off on that at this point.
