Now is thier an “actual” case on either team or is it we just want to take time away! Still can’t understand how Christian Djoos was skating in Anaheim’s training camp,gets put on waivers is picked up by Detroit & put into Covid Proticol,yet his old team & new team haven’t had a case!! Also confused how Travis Hamonic was able to play right away after signing in Vancouver & not having to Quarintine ?!? Seams as though NHL Covid rules are written on Dry erase board & if you don’t like you can change to your Convience !!
Good point about Djoos, Scott. I thought the exact same thing. The only plausible excuse is he caught it on flight from Anaheim to Detroit or in airports.
Well here’s a shocker,i’am related to Christian & other members of my own family are in contact on weekly basis,not once have they told us yes he “Does” have covid! So is this “proticol ” just a smoke screen to hide players you don’t have roster space for? We saw what happen with Dallas ,why was Anaheim not put into quarintine if he contracted @ or enroute to Detroit? Thier doesn’t seem to be any set rule with “Proticol” and that’s what’s frustrating with this!
