Pretty sure that's the case, not sure where the threshold lands. Caps have the full 29 listed, so they should have 25 guys still available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zamboni 1,574 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 That truly sucks for them. I hope it doesn’t make its way to decimate the Sabres. Yikes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1,765 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Hope none of them get sick, and that the Sabres take advantage of their absence to the tune of 4 points this weekend. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, I don't really want to see any team on the Sabres docket have Covid issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brawndo 5,096 Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 It doesn’t sound like positive tests so far, it appears they were in a hotel room together which is a no no Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess I didn’t realize that. On the road it's very strict. This was a good rundown if you get the Atheeltic: https://theathletic.com/2319928/2021/01/18/from-plane-etiquette-to-elevator-rules-nhl-road-trips-have-a-new-look/ The NHL also has individual sections covering what is required for air travel, buses and hotels with great detail. The section on airplanes lists how players will sit in assigned seats, that they shall remain seated for the whole flight unless it is to use the bathroom, and to avoid eating and drinking at the same time as others in the same row. The section for buses details how teams will have at least two buses with each bus filled at no more than 50 percent capacity, with no eating or drinking on the bus. Perhaps the most detailed guidelines were reserved for the team hotel. It is more than four-pages long, covering everything from housekeeping, equipment and luggage, to food and beverage service and elevator usage. For example, the elevator guidelines state that teams have a designated elevator that may be subject to capacity limits and have floor markers. And, the use of stairs is preferred to avoid close contact. The NHL also suggests using knuckles or elbows and not fingers to press elevator buttons; not entering crowded elevators; not lingering or standing around in a crowded elevator bank; and not talking to others while in the elevator. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like they are relaxing the restrictions and 2 people will be able to vist now. Better half hasn't seen her 2 kids in over 3 months now. I hope the restrictions are relaxed a wee bit.

This place will be unbearable if Johansson takes an L either night against the remaining roster. And whomever (if anyone) had Ovechkin at 0 goals through 4 Caps - Sabres games, do you also have the winning lottery numbers? 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
