Carter Hart calls for NHL COVID changes
You can add Carter Hart to the list of NHLers who've grown tired of the NHL's COVID protocols. The Flyers had to play the Anaheim Ducks last night without Ivan Provorov and Claude Giroux because of positive tests. According to Carter Hart things need to change.
Hart issued the following comments:
"It's tough, for sure. Guys are testing positive with no symptoms or mild symptoms. I mean, the league's got to find a way to change that. We're either going to keep playing shorthanded all season long or games are going to keep getting postponed. I think it's a joke. It's got to change."
Hart had previously tested positive but described himself as having "little to no symptoms at all".
Flyers Interim Coach Mike Yeo added the following comments:
"We're very, very aware and we all share concern for what's going on in the world. But you can understand why maybe some players would find it difficult, when you have guys that play with broken ribs, broken feet. And they feel completely fine."
The truly sad part in all of this is that Ivan Provorov had built himself a very respectable iron-man streak of 403 games and due to this positive test his streak came to an end.
