Carter Hart voiced his frustration with the NHL's COVID process.
Flyers Goaltender is sick of the NHL's Covid Protocol and wants changes. Currently there is a good amount of players not just from the Flyers but every team right now dealing with covid and it's not slowing down.
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 had this to say:
"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". How ever other players may not have that same effect, some players also are A systematic while others say it's like a common cold or flu.
Flyers 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 which if he was feeling OK maybe he could of played?
We all want the NHL to continue but it definitely needs to find a better way to deal with Covid and how it's effectiveness is with almost all players vaccinated. How ever some players have admitted they still did have some rough effects from it but no where near as bad as before the vaccine was released.
