I’m no expert on Covid protocol but if USA couldn’t play today, what’s going to change in the next 24 hours to allow them to play?

If there are cancellations based on the COVID-19 rules in place, so be it.

I doubt it either. Why?

 

Because they seem to be following the protocols.  

 

Nothing is guaranteed though.

It is odd.

 

These players that tested positive are just like Carson Wentz.  They don't give a sh#t about their team. 

I am old enough to remember that if a player had a cold or the flu and didn't hook up to an I.V. to try and be able to play he was letting the team down....now if a player is told he is sick they don't let him play.

You have to understand that the science is so solid that only people who remain negative are following the protocols.

So team USA tests again this morning to see if they can play tonight?  Are our two guys going to recover from their bout with Covid in 24 hours?  Seems like short of two false positive tests yesterday USA may as well pack up their gear and head home.  And if they did have false positives yesterday, why didn’t they test the two players a couple times until they got the desired results?

Trust the science.

The USA had to be moved aside somehow, yet you can't completely hose them over (as in last in pool and relegated). 

And thus there is the reason this is not a relegation year. 

Happy Gold to Canada.

Speculation here, but I would guess the two that tested positive quarantined away from the team and it's the remainder of the team that will test and will get to play provided there are no positives.

According to IIHF policies, you have to have 8 teams to be considered as a recognized tournament.  There are 10 teams, so if the US is out there isn't much of a margin before this tournament isn't going to be recognized.   So do they all of a sudden change testing policies?  You would think the way things have been going, other players will test positive.

Ok....rumor was that it was two of our goalies.  That leaves USA with one actual goalie?

I believe it is actually a forward and a goalie.

3 goalies on the roster - 1 was goalie, 1 was forward

Team Czechia placed into quarantine due to a positive test; will forfeit today’s game.

It's possible the WJC experience could sour some players on the Olympic opportunity.  Like, I've already sat around while games are cancelled once, do I want to go through that again?
