Blackhawks Fire CEO
Ownership has seen enough middling I suppose. Means Stan Bowman's time is ticking. Looks like a full rebuild is finally upon the Hawks maybe?

I think this guy's been on 5 teams in 5 years? Soon to be cut given what he did here.
There are unwritten rules in a team sport like this and he crossed over bigtime by being a complete @$$clown with his chat. Like, seriously, how stupid can a guy be?

Internet is permanent. If you want to talk trash about someone like that, don't do it in writing...geebus. And even then...some of his comments are just terrible.

Annnnnd Leipsic is dropped by Caps.
Career is over...he may as well also consider a new zip code because the cities he's been to and the comments he's said of ex-teammates, their significant others, and other women in those places...? Yeah, he's toast.

I don't blame covid, it's stupid people.
Seems pretty obvious. There is a communicable disease, you stay as far as possible away from each other. I have only left the house when 100% necessary for months. My Wife has gone out even less.

Hoping we can get this underway by August. I need something to watch on TV. Lots of my teams this year were having great seasons all to be cut short by this thing. Before anyone points out it isn't really that important I get that just saying.

So Pens players started skating together yesterday (June 10) and will basically have to sit around for a month and not get sick before training camp can even begin

If there was any doubt how idiotic Brandon Prust could be, well, he just put all uncertainty to rest with his imbecilic Tweet.

I dunno. I think sports as we know it for the remainder of this year and possibly into 2021-22 will be different unless we get that vaccine to rid ourselves of this COVID-19 trainwreck.

Come on it makes things more interesting. Can you win the cup while staying COVID free.
Really sad about this honestly. Was hoping it would be one of the first team sports back.

They are going to have to make a decision really soon. It is supposed to happen in 10 days along with the NBA. Baseball already playing games so going to look bad on both NBA and NHL if they can't get started as well.

Hoping nothing serious with Sid, they're saying it's nothing and that he's fine, but my God do we need him IF hockey is actually played

It's not just about sports...these players are people with families. Their safety and health is not worth it with COVID-19 still going haywire.

NHL announces only 2 positive tests for virus since camps opened
2:49 PM ETGreg Wyshynski
ESPN
The National Hockey League released its first COVID-19 test results since training camps opened on July 13 and the numbers were encouraging, as only two players had tested positive.
The NHL concluded the first five days of testing from Phase 3 of its return-to-play protocol from July 13-17. The league said that 2,618 tests were administered to more than 800 players, returning only two positive COVID-19 tests. Both players had self-isolated and are following the protocols set forth by the CDC and Health Canada. The timeline for a return to the team greatly varies if the player was symptomatic or asymptomatic.
Players in Phase 3 are tested on an every other day basis, along with daily checks for fever and symptoms.
The NHL announced the results Monday.
Per NHL policy, the identity of these players was not revealed. As part of the return-to-play protocols voted on by the league and the NHLPA, the NHL is handling all news about injuries and COVID-19 diagnoses.
Players who are missing from training camp are labeled "unfit to play," and teams are forbidden to elaborate on the reasons for their absence. There were many more players deemed "unfit to play" than tested positive through July 17. In some cases, players were held out of the lineup out of concern for "secondary exposure" to an individual that tested positive for COVID-19, as the Pittsburgh Penguins did with nine players on July 13.
The Phase 3 results are encouraging and trending in the right direction. Last week, the NHL released information about its COVID-19 test results for Phase 2, which included the reopening of team training facilities for informal workouts. There were 4,934 tests given to these players, with 30 positive results. In addition, the league said that 13 players outside of the Phase 2 protocol tested positive.
The 24 teams that are taking part in the NHL postseason are scheduled to move their training camps to two "hub" cities -- Toronto for the Eastern Conference and Edmonton for the Western Conference -- on July 26. The Stanley Cup Playoffs qualification and round-robin rounds will begin on Aug. 1.
