Finland WJC coach Antti Pennanen: "I am angry because this was not a COVID problem, but the problem was that this was a poorly run tournament. ... This says a lot about the state of the IIHF."
Never would have guessed this 🤦♂️😱
Are the tournament logistics run by IIHF or Hockey Canada?

From Twitter: “One staff member on a European team in same hotel as USA in Red Deer calls the current covid protocols and lack of isolation from the community "ridiculous", saying they've come into contact with said wedding guests.”
You can be pretty confident that wedding guests were not wearing masks the whole time

Sorry folks, I fell asleep. It seems it was a blowout game, but I hope it was at least entertaining as we may not have much NHL hockey to watch for the next while.
Couple of close but no cigars: https://www.focusring.ca/WJCANBingo/WJBingo.html?board=BVeSLafICcQhRnXJPKbTYmgM&scored=20608452&tscored=1102210000111000&bname=senior
When I see that commercial about the kid with artificial legs, I think back to a kid who played nets for us when we were kids. He wore leg braces because of polio and played in boots.
USA had to forfeit their game against Switzerland Tuesday evening due to covid protocol. Two of their players tested positive.
I wonder how separated all the teams are in hotels. Teams can be on different floors, but building ventilation is still shared. Maybe they have filters in each room and hallway?
In other news. Brad Marchand speaks out against the NHL for pulling out of the Olympics. Calls it complete BS.
His privilege is showing.
Agree 💯 Especially about Marchand, bummer about US squad and Covid
What's the awarded score on a forfeited win? 1-0? That could potentially come into play in the standings if goal differential comes into play.
